Mia ate a bite of whole wheat english muffin and ate blueberries for breakfast.  For lunch she ate half of her chicken, half of crackers, ate sweet potatoes, and cherries.  Just in case someone reading this might think Mia is eating a little less - she usually arrives at Daycare with food!  (Waffle, pancakes, etc.)   Her routine is to sit at the dining table and inquire about what Lauralea is eating for breakfast or fixing for her lunch.  Today she said, "What's that!?!"  Lauralea answered, "Tuna and avocado sandwich!"  Mia said, "Oooooo, I like that!!"  Ha ha ha!  I doubt if you've ate that Mia - I know I haven't!!  :)

We were doing the "Toddlerobics" book and Mia couldn't wait for her favorite part; "Bump Bottoms!"  I think I've previously posted a picture of this activity, but here's another one!  It's been several weeks since we've read this book, but as soon as I mentioned it Mia said, "Hey! Let's bump bottoms Coop!!"  You can see Elliott in the picture too.  He was pretty entertained by their antics.

Speaking of Elliott, Cooper and Mia were barricading themselves in the igloo by lining blocks up in front of the entrance to try to keep Elliott out.  They weren't real successful so Mia thought of another approach - put Elliott inside the igloo and block him in there!  Silly kids.  Although I thought her strategy would probably work!  :)  Earlier, Cooper was in the igloo and Mia was guarding the entrance and saying things like, "I never ever let anyone get Cooper away!  I promise!"

Before Art Time Cooper and Mia went downstairs with me to make copies of our dot painting paper. Mia was so proud of herself for getting the paint shirt on all by herself.  Good job Mia!

Little Sophie is so distractible when I'm feeding her and I have to work hard to just focus on her!  And of course Mia has a steady barrage of LOUD questions, comments, and demands.  So I was whispering to Mia while looking at the baby and Mia kept telling me to talk louder!  Ha ha!  Finally Mia was right beside me and I whispered, "I can't talk to you right now."  Mia responded, "OK!! FINE!!"  :)  Well I just roared and scared poor Sophie.  It was so funny the way Mia said it!
