Sophie has revelled in the grandparental attention she's received in the past three weeks leading up to and including the birth of her baby sister. These photos are from a photo booth at Oakridge Mall where Sophie and Nonna were exchanging some birthday clothes for bigger sizes (who knew four-year-old Sophie had already outgrown size five in some brands!).

Sophie and friends celebrated her 4th birthday with an art party at Collage Collage. They created rocket-powered unicorns using mixed media.
