Sophie has started planning a lot lately. After we told her we were going to Chili’s for lunch, for example, she announced that she’d be getting soup. Then she began checking up on our dining plans periodically during the car ride there:
“Sophie get soup?” Yep! “Ben get soup?” No, I want to get chicken.
Then a little later:
“Sophie get soup?” Yep! “Ben get chicken?” Yep!
This tactic apparently lets her formulate her own plans based on ours. At bedtime on Friday night, for instance, she checked up on our evening plans:
Sophie: Mommy go night night?
Mommy: Yep! Mommy’s going night night.
Sophie: Ben go night night?
Ben: Yep! Ben’s going night night.
Sophie: (decisively) Sophie watch Pooh!
At least now we know what she does after everyone else is asleep.
