Mia ate two servings of breakfast: blueberry waffles and pears.  For lunch she ate tuna and crackers, sweet potatoes, and oranges.  I'd put syrup on Mia's waffle at breakfast and when I looked over there, she was finished, and had both hands in her syrup sliding all over her plate!

We did a toy and book exchange this weekend and the kids were all so engaged checking everything out.  If Mia didn't play with everything, she at least touched everything!  She played with the dolls and blankets, and was following Riley's lead putting on the tutus.  Except Mia had to put on two of them!  I took a picture of her playing with one of the little houses which has some furniture and little people.  (Riley is also in this picture, but she's basically hidden behind Mia.  You can see a bit of her hair at the back of Mia's head.)

Outside Riley was giving Mia a ride in the wagon.  That always makes me laugh; Riley doing all the work while Mia is laying sideways in the wagon with her feet dangling over the side.  Just kind of chillin and taking it easy.  Riley is so little, but she works hard at pulling Mia around.  Then Mia jumped in Nora's wagon, but Nora was not nearly as eager to be the 'work-horse!'

Mia fell on the sidewalk, but her pants come below her knees and that saved her.  There wasn't even a scrape.  I asked, "Are you alright?"  She was still crying and said, "NO!"  :)

There was a young kid (teenager) walking by the yard and I said, "Hello!"  Mia immediately said, "Hello!"  And the boy thought that was really funny.

There are lots of apples laying on the ground in the neighbor's yard under his apple trees.  They are smelling like they are fermenting and the bees are getting active over there.  All I had to do was mention "bees" and Riley is smoking away from that area at a high rate of speed.  And Mia followed her so that was good.
