It was a good day for our little Sophie, who’s not so little anymore.

Chloe gave her the Littlest Pet Shop remote control car (she’s crazy about it) she’d be dying for. Papa and I gave her puzzles and games. And there were other great surprises, too, from aunts and uncles and our beloved babysitter.

I made good on my promise to go to Sophie’s school with treats. And after the little celebration, I took her back to work with me. She’d been begging me to see my office for a very long time. And what better day to do it than her birthday. She did her homework, met some of my colleagues and made pictures for my bulletin board.

She may have had a great birthday, but she made my day.
