Mia had two servings of waffles and ate hash browns for breakfast.  For lunch she ate half of her beef & cheese quesadilla, half of carrots, and ate oranges.  When Lauralea was leaving at breakfast time Cooper was showing her his "raccoon socks."  Mia said, "Do you have raccoon socks or eagle socks?"  LOL  (For those who may have missed the journal that day - Cooper has Philadelphia Eagle socks!)

The Templeton boys stopped by yesterday when we were outside playing.  Bode had Cooper and Mia's undivided attention when I took this picture.  He was showing them some important life skills - stretching his mouth as wide as he could!  By the way, Reed may be visiting all day on Friday if his Caregiver has to serve Jury Duty as scheduled.

After Story Time Cooper and Mia both got some books and sat together reading.  Mia was reading some books that we'd just read and asking Cooper the questions; "Are you a penguin?"  "No."  "Are you a cow?"  "No."  He was answering her questions without looking up and he continued to read his own books at the same time.  (And that was keeping her happy!  Did I mention something earlier about learning Life Skills?)

"Cooper! Mia yells, "My baby's in trouble!!"  So he dutifully goes running over to see what she needs.  Silly Mia.  She was just playing with her doll.  Later she yelled again, but this time it was to look at Elliott; "Cooper!  Come see the baby!!"  Mia thought it was funny because Elliott was kind of wedging his head behind the big chair.

Mia was doing her "puppy play" a LOT this morning!  :)  Which is just fine, but I have to keep a close eye on her because some times Cooper likes it and some times not so much.  So he's learning to say "That's not fun for me" and she learning to listen to his words.  :)  She gets a little too aggressive with it; i.e., "pit bull" style.  She said, "I howling!"  Ok, maybe "wolf style!"  :)
