Sophia likes saying no a lot. I ask: Would you like to get dressed Sophia? No. Would you like to go out? No. How about the park? No. And I get her dressed and pack a bag anyway… because I know that as soon as we are downstairs and ready to go, she’ll be excited. It’s always the same. And today was no different. I strapped Sophia into her trike, and off we went, around the corner, and across the road to the park. I took some spiced cookies along, as they are Sophia’s favourite food of the week – she simply does not stop asking for them. So she was thrilled to be eating cookies in the park and we had a fantastic afternoon chasing each other, climbing up and down, piggy back rides, and peek-a-boo. I fall in love with her a little more on afternoons like this one. M x
