Wierd but great tastes!

We went on a spontaneous trip to Solvang and Santa Barbara this weekend. Felt pretty relaxed this time because I wasn't too stressed out about Soph eating enough or sleeping at the right times. I figured that if she's hungry she'll eat. If she's tired she'll sleep.

At Solvang for lunch, we ordered a table of super unhealthy food. Fried chicken with fries,  chilli, and kid's meal meatballs dinner for Soph.

A table of good food and guess what she chose to eat? The carrots on the side! She ate all the baby carrots in the fried chicken dish and the meatballs dinner.

About 10 sticks or so. And didn't really care for anything else. Not even the fries or fried chicken?!? What a healthy eater!

But she really likes jam too. She can just scoop up mouthfuls of jam without bread. Yuks, so sweet.

She even dipped the Danish sausage into jam and ate it. Toddlers are so weird. She doesn't like cakes or cupcakes or custard puffs. Shakes her head violently at them as though they are poisonous. She doesn't get excited about ice-cream either. i think she hates that it's cold. But she loves the free madeleines from Paris Baguette. 

Sophie the Gardener

Hard at work watering the strawberry plants and all the fruit trees in the backyard.

Her hands are strong enough to press the hose. Wow. She also loves plucking strawberries (sometimes unripe ones, which annoys me) and eagerly waits to eat them after I wash them.

Sophie in 开车车!

From being terrified to a favourite ride, Soph has certainly grown up together with car car.

Now she also dares to sit on the animals of the merry-go-round.

Mommi also sitting on merry-go-round for the first time! Cheese!

Soph is still scared of a close up contact with the animals, even the gentle billy goats and sheep. I think she's afraid of eye contact or big things. Next task is to overcome her fear for them!
