Mia ate two servings of blueberry english muffin and ate blueberries for breakfast. For lunch she ate about half of her chicken and crackers, ate sweet potatoes, and two servings of canned cherries.
Nora and Mia are always awake before Riley and Riley is always asleep before them too. And I've always told them to be quiet when walking past Riley's nap mat. It's so funny because now both of them put their fingers up to their mouth and go "Shhhhh...." when walking past Riley's mat; whether she's awake or asleep! It looks like they are doing it to tell Riley to be quiet....but maybe they're just reminding themselves. :)
During story-time I will frequently let them "fill in the blank." It's a fun way to get them actively involved in the story too. It especially works when there is a 'repeating phrase.' This morning in the "Speckled Frogs" book the repeating phrase was "Yum Yum" and Mia was getting it almost every time. Another way I actively involve them in story-time is by using their names instead of the book names. And they love it.
The smoke cleared a little by 10:30 so we went outside for about 40 minutes. Mia played with the bikes, trucks, ice cream carts, and on the climbers. They also waved and said, "Hi Daddy" to every plane that flew over. That originated with Riley and now all three girls are saying it! :) Riley has been to the airport to pick up daddy from a trip and now he's on every plane!
The kids always go to the patio bench to get their shoes on when we're going out to play. When they got seated this morning Nora put her arm around Mia's shoulder and said, "Hi!" like they'd just saw each other! Pretty cute. And Mia said, "Hi!"
During art time this morning Mia slowed down and did some very deliberate marks (for a few seconds anyway). It was pretty cool and it was basically the first time I've seen her do that. It's around this age when they begin to do some 'representational' type of drawing.
