The Pink Pompom Girl

So Sophia is in love with pink. And when I say "in love," I mean absolutely completely 100% obsessed with pink. Anything pink. She even gets mad if you won't pretend that cheese is pink and broccoli is pink and her brother is pink. It is really ridiculous, and I'm praying often that it is a phase. Good Lord, do I wish we could move along to purple or orange or ANYTHING. BUT. PINK.

Anyhow, pink comes into the story when her school's second music festival involved her classmates and pompoms. There was a song that highlighted each of the colors; different kids were assigned different colors and well, short story, they shake their pompoms when their color is called. Soph brought home a note requesting that we send her with a week early with a pair of light blue pompoms to practice for the concert. Two days later, Pablo came home from picking her up and said her blue pompoms now needed to be pink. Wonder why. Could it have been a tantrum at school when, HOW DARE THEY, assign her the color blue? So it be - Sophia was the pink pompom soloist at her concert last Friday.

The whole family all ready to go and see Soph be a star!


Soph and her classmates - of course, she is the pink pompom girl!





And this was the moment when we knew it should be over. They are done singing and behaving. Its time to move on.


Here are Soph's best girl friends - Vica and Dana - unfortunately, I couldn't get a good shot of the three of them for the life of me! And as you can tell, I really tried!





And last but not least, because every occasion should have one - a family selfie!
