Happy Birthday Mia!!

When our childcare kids turn one we start a daily journal for the family to read.  I will include what she eats for breakfast and lunch and then three or fours things about her day.  And frequently there will be a picture included.  :)  We do our journals during nap time so you can look for them between 12:30 and 2:30.  I'm sure I don't need to tell you this, but unexpected things happen at daycare.  :)  So occasionally the journal may be late or even missed.  If we miss a day we keep the notes we've made and we always do our make-up work.  (That was for teacher Matt.)

Mia ate whole wheat toast and mixed berries for breakfast.  (She also had a bottle about 8:10)  For lunch she ate ham, bean & bacon soup, crackers, and kiwi.

Here's a picture of Mia with one of the drums.  "Yes!!  Something I can beat on without Gary getting on my case!"  :)  She's constant movement so getting a good picture of her is an adventure.  Our camera does this 'delay' thing and in every picture her head was turned or she had the drum stick in her mouth.


She likes to get up on the step in front of the window so she can see out.  Then when she wants down she thinks she's 'stuck' and starts to yell.  Almost all of them go through that at this age.

Just about every morning the first thing she does is take off a sock and hold it up for me as if to say, "Ok, you can put this on my cubby now."

We love how responsive to language she is becoming.  This is one of my favorite stages; where they are learning language, but not able to speak it yet.  Lauralea studied that for her Master's degree and it is fascinating stuff.  :)
