With a little prompting, Sophie can now recite the days of the week in order. But she's still coming to grips with the broader concept of time and often uses terminology like yesterday-before-yesterday and tomorrow-after-tomorrow.
Which helps explain her recent flash of insight while playing with her brother:
Prince! Prince! Yesterday you said that you would marry me tomorrow. Well, today IS tomorrow!

This next exchange is all the sweeter if you imagine her speaking in her (normal) English accent.
Sophie: Storm Trooper, would you like a biscuit?
Jack: (silence)
Sophie: Storm Trooper... Storm Trooper! Would you like a biscuit?
Jack: (sigh) No.
Sophie: Popcorn then? It's vewy good for your tummy...
