Screaming Hilarity

I don’t know why the cat never liked Sophia. She has always been very gentle, surprisingly so, for a toddler. She never pulled his tail and always petted softly. Well, she has finally lulled him into a false sense of security and she now takes full advantage of it. Sophia will now spot the quietly lounging cat in a room and run in yelling for the sole purpose of scaring him. She loves it. She is pure toddler evil in the cat’s eyes.

Last weekend we went to the racetrack to watch motorcycle racing. I specify motorcycle as if there is any other type of racing acknowledged by Kurt, though I must agree it’s much more entertaining when a right turn is an actual possibility and not just a fatal flaw. In case you weren’t sure or missed it completely, yes, that was a dig on NASCAR.

At the track they built a playground in the parking lot. There was only one other parent with her three older-than-Sophia kids. As her kids played tag she kept reminding them that there is a smaller child, a ‘little one’ playing there too. As soon as I let Sophia go she ran to the back side of the play equipment. The area is fully fenced so I didn’t have to worry about Sophia running off. The other kids ran past Sophia and she let out a loud scream. The other parent thinking one of her children hurt mine jumped out of her skin and flipped around to see what was going on. Kurt also looked for her as well as a friend that was with us. When Sophia noticed she had scared the adults and all attention was on her she laughed, completely uninhibited laughter.

    • G-Man – It so would have! I wish I could have the camera rolling at just the right times either that or have unlimited battery life and the time to edit so I can show all the good stuff. ;-)

  1. So Chloe does the same thing…almost. Toddler Drama queen likes to cry and run sobbing. One day just as she was doing this she caught her grandpa’s eye and smiled in mid cry with a wink to let him know that she was totally playing us. Little bugger. Then today she was naughty and got told off. Upon seeing the angry look she got she opened her arms wide, looked cute, and said, “hugs?”. Smart little bugger.
    In other news I’m doing my principal practicum at a school where Tony Danza is filming a reality series. You should see my “Tony Danza” purse I bought to look cute with, LOL ;)
