Sophie Phinney


I was born July 2002. [9 months] I like to be outside. Inside is boring. I like to talk to birds and street lights. I really, really want to be able to use the stereo and change CDs. I can predict what will happen when I try, so I go up to the stereo, look at daddy, say `no-no-no', and then try to push buttons or pull it off the shelf. [11 months] I can walk now. I am also extremely tall and can reach things on top of tables and countertops, so I keep everyone else busy. I can feed myself with a spoon when I am not using it as a catapult or to repeat Galileo's experiments from my highchair. My idol is my big sister. I want to do everything she does e.g. ride a bicycle, climb steps two at a time, play piano. The first two aren't working too well, but I can carefully push the piano keys one at a time now. I have a good ear, and clap when people play music right, and point, say `no-no' and make sad faces when they play wrong notes.

In 2007 [age 5] I started kindergarten. I really like it. I can also ride a bicycle with no training wheels, perform death-defying feats in my gymnastics class, dance ballet, and play real piano pieces (I study with Stacy Wang at A1 Yamaha/Playtime music, just like my big sister). But most of all I like to make things, read stories to my dolls, and to play make-believe games.
