Today

I am way too lazy right now to flip this photo the right way up.

During our morning walk, we passed a garbage picker going through the trash cans.  When he opened one, this soccer ball fell out onto the sidewalk and rolled over to us.  So we took it home.  Looks clean, doesn't smell weird, it's ours now!

Sophie went over to this very girly window of dresses entirely on her own accord.  They were quite pretty.

Sophie learned the hard way this morning that she ought to keep her toys close.  A couple different kids started using her red cup in the sandbox, sometimes when she wasn't using it, but sometimes when she was.  Once she came over to me with tears in her eyes when one little girl refused to give it back to her.  I told her we'd wait till the girl put it down and then we'd snatch it up.  Well, when the little girl put it down, Sophie was busy doing something else, so I didn't intervene until the cherished red cup was in danger of being taken home by some little boy.  She's learning to guard it carefully if she wants it to be around when she needs it.
