Quotables from Sophia

We have a great CD that has catechism songs on it, it is so catchy, I find myself singing the songs throughout the day. One day we asked Sophia: 'who were our first parents?' and she quite promptly answered: 'Poppy and CC'

Another time we asked, who are the three persons of God? Her reply: 'the Father, the mother, and the Holy Spirit'

When talking about prayer she said: 'when we wake up in the morning we say 'thank you Father for protecting me while I sleep' and then He says 'your welcome.''

Me: 'Sophia lets put a dress on you'
S: why
Me: 'because you look so pretty in a dress'
S: now, in my shirt I don't look so pretty?
Me: oh girl, of course you do, you look pretty in whatever you wear.


"There are three guys who are really sweet to me: Big Caleb, Clay, Ai Muan, and Justin"


(after I strongly told Bella 'NO' for biting my shoulder)
S: I don't like that. I am sad
M: Because I told her No?
S: yes
M:I am not angry with her, she just needs to know right away that it is not okay
S: Can you do gentle spirit?
M: What?!
S: Can you do gentle spirit?
M: Can I say it with a gentle spirit?
S: Yes, can you say it with a gentle spirit?

S: Why is daddy sad?

M: Because his friend died

S: Can I see his tears?

M: He is not here right now.

S: Is he crying? He should cry…he should cry out…cry out to Jesus.


M: We are going back home in a few weeks and then we will ….

S: Is this not a real home?

M: Oh, yes, we are going back to America for a little while and then we will come back home, here, this is our home!!!


M: it is Greek, Daddy is reviewing Greek, maybe one day you will learn Greek

S: Greek?

M: yes.

S: I will learn Greek-English, and Greek Chinese, and Greek-D(the other language we are learning)
