Mia ate two servings of breakfast: Waffles and hash browns.  For lunch she had a bite of chicken and cheese quesadilla, ate half of her carrots, and ate mandarin oranges.  At breakfast time everyone; Mia, Cooper, and Elliott started eating and it was MOMENTARILY very quiet.  Mia couldn't stand that!  She said, "You guys wanna talk!?!"  Ha ha ha!  (I was was kind of savoring the fleeting moment!!)

Cooper voice was pretty hoarse this morning - I think it got a little better by lunch.  Anyhow, Lauralea said, "Cooper, you're hoarse!"  Mia was somewhat offended!!  She grunted, "Hmmrrphh!!!"  And (while scowling) tipped her head back and started neighing and pawing the earth like a wild mustang!  Yes Mia, you're also horse!!  :)  For anyone who may not be aware of it, being an animal is VERY important to Mia!

Mia yelled, "Story Time Coop!!"  And she started reading him a book about "shapes."  (She knows the way to his heart!  The Boy loves his Shapes!!)  "What shape is this Cooper?" - "Triangle!" - "Good job!"  And so it went!  Good job Cooper and Mia.  It was very cute.  She knows soooo many of the stories and I love listening to her read them!  I especially like it when she changes a word or two!  For example (from this morning): "Rain rain go away, come back (again) another way(day)!"  Inside the parentheses is the "correct" way.  I think I prefer Mia's wording in this song!  :)

They had fun making some posters at Art Time.  We did some gluing, putting Tape on the poster, and doing their hand prints.  (I'm going to get some bigger ink pads and it will make that part easier!)

And here's a picture of Mia and Cooper loving on Sophie.  Geez - I wonder if Sophie gets enough attention around here!?!  Mia's hair was tickling Sophie's face and Sophie did manage to grab a few strands.
