7/30/2013

Mia ate two servings of breakfast: whole wheat bagel and dried apricots.  For lunch she ate chicken, whole wheat elbow noodles with peas (topped with shredded cheese), and ate applesauce.

Here's another picture of the three of them holding hands.  As I've probably mentioned more than once, this rarely ends well.  BUT, it's so cute and they love it and I monitor it closely!  Mia usually ends up essentially dragging the other one (in this case two) and bulldogging them onto the mattress!  She doesn't care which direction they're going as long as it is fast & furious.  :)

If you look at the picture you can sort of see that Mia has an animal mask (actually two of them) around her bottom again.  It's the new style for the past few days.  I didn't notice, but she still had them on when we went outside this morning.  Riley, on the other hand, notices everything!!  "Oh oh! Oh oh!"  And she was pointing at the masks on Mia's butt.  :)

The three girls were at the gate and these two ladies walked by and were totally enthralled by the kids.  "Oh, they're so cute, they're so cute..."  Yup, I agree!  :)  However, Mia was way more interested in the doggie that accompanied them.  She kept saying, "Doggie, doggie!!"

Darcy, right after you walked out the door this morning Mia took off her shoes.  I told her to go put them in her cubby and on the way to her cubby she looked at the door you'd just went out and she yells, "Bye Momma!!"  Cracked me up!  (That's why she was a few seconds late getting to the window to wave bye.)

I love observing the kids and see how they go about 'solving' problems.  At this age a lot of it is a 'temperament thing'.  Mia will frequently just pull harder if something is stuck and yell if it doesn't work.  She wants it done NOW!  This morning she was trying to pull the wagon through an opening that was barely wide enough for the wagon.  (A pretty tight fit!)  She hit the opening fast and was abruptly stopped.  She pulled harder and then looked at me and yelled.  I said, "Work at it; I think you can do it."  She looked at it and walked to the back of the wagon and pushed it through the hole with success!  Way to go Mia!  I love it!
