Friends

Christmas came a little early last night, when I pulled some treasures out of the bottom of Sophie’s backpack.
First, there’s a beautiful (albeit crumpled) drawing made by Sophie’s BFF, Sarah.
And then there’s a story by Sophie and Courtney.
(Several times this semester, Sophie’s brought home sweet notes from someone named Courtney. Not to be confused with our fabulous babysitter/nanny/respite provider, Courtney, I’ve pieced together that this one is an undergrad at the nearby university, obviously doing some sort of internship. Sophie calls her “my ASU buddy”. Courtney was clearly a popular name 20 or so years ago, just like Amy was popular 40 or so years ago.)
Everyone in the family read the story, and we all agree it’s awesome. Here it is:
Once upon a time Sophie lived in the forest and met the baby buffalo Courtney. She was so small she fit in Sophie’s hand and Sophie kissed her and hugged her. She grew up into a big buffalo. Sophie hugged her a lot and got on her back with her pets.
One day Sophie and Sarah are fighting at school. Sophie is sad because she is fighting with her best friend. Sophie does not like to cry so she calls Courtney. She has good hearing. Courtney quickly flies to school and Sophie climbs on her back.
She flies to Sophie’s house from the school. At first Sophie was nervous because she was sad. And then she was happy because her hair was blowing behind her. Then Courtney sleeps in the attic and Sophie sleeps there too.
The end
Precious! Both! And the heels! haha love it. Note the shape of the hats? Coincidence?
Love it!
