Mia ate two servings of waffle and a bite of hash browns for breakfast.  For lunch she ate beef & cheese quesadilla, carrots, and oranges.

The kids were at the window watching some birds when Mia and Matt arrived.  They parked on Rainbow Drive and we watched them unload and head down the sidewalk.  Cooper started saying, "Matt Matt.."  Then Cooper joined Mia at the window to wave bye when he was leaving.  Mia waved and said, "Bye Dad!"  Cooper waved and said, "Bye!"  Mia told him, "Say Matt; bye Matt!"  :)

This is basically what a Toddler argument sounds like;  Mia said, "Yes I can!" Nora responded; "Yes you can't!!"  Mia, "Yes I can!"  Nora, "Yes you can't!!"  :)

I took this picture of Grace, a neighbor girl, talking to the kids.  She's really a sweet kid and she remembers the names of the four Day Care children and greets each one individually.  (I decided to show you this picture even though Mia is mostly hidden from view on the far side -  you can see her ponytail!)  Grace read Cooper's shirt (Born to Dribble), giggled, and said she liked it.  This is a side note; Grace is carrying a small device (the name of which I'd never heard before!) and she was telling me everything it did, which included texting.  "Texting is my favorite thing to do!!"  How old are you?!?   "Eight!"  LOL    She did stumble over my next question though; "So who do you text?"  :)

Cooper is pulling Mia in the wagon in this picture and they were taking turns pulling.  I like how Mia has her hands behind her head and she's just totally relaxing!

Mia fell on the sidewalk and it opened a scab from a previous fall and there was some blood.
However, she was being very brave and not crying or actually saying anything.  She, and everyone
else, were closely watching me clean her knee and put on a bandaid.  When I was done Mia
spoke and Nora exclaimed, "You can TALK!"  (Like she'd been mute for a week!)  LOL!
