Mia ate half of her breakfast: waffle and hash browns.  For lunch she ate chicken and cheese quesadilla, carrots, and three servings of mandarin oranges.  After lunch she was wanting to help Elliott drink his milk out of his cup.  She said, "He wants a drink!"  Ha ha.  So I told her she could hold it for him and he drank quite a bit of it.  He started pushing the cup away and Mia yells, "Hey! He's pushing it away!  That's not nice!!  He needs to drink it all!"  (I think she had an agenda!)  But she figured it out and said, "He doesn't want anymore!!!"  :)  Good job helping Mia!

In this first picture Mia is explaining to Cooper their "camping strategy."  The pile of toys beside them is their camping gear.  :)  Mia grabbed a phone and called Lauralea and then Jamie.  Cooper was using a phone as well.  Mia said, "Hi Lauralea!  We're having a picnic!"  "Hi Jamie!!  You want Cooper to join you!?....oh. ok!!"  Cooper said, "Hi Jamie!"  Hee hee.  I guess Mia had Lauralea on hold because then she said, "Bye Lauralea!  I'll call you later!"

Cooper and Mia had fun with the play dough this morning.  They like the animal cookie cutters the best - rabbit, pig, hippo, duck, dolphin, etc.  You can see the pizza cutters, spoons, knives, rollers and more that they like to use too.  Mia looked at the knives and said, "We can share these Cooper!"  (Of course sharing is much easier when they each have one!!)  :)  This play dough came from the Cline Family at Kenzie's birthday party # 4.  Today happens to be Kenzie's birthday # 5 and this dough is just as pliable today as then.  It's an awesome play dough recipe!

Cooper and Mia had built a pretty good barricade around the igloo.  (First line of defense to hold Elliott at bay!)  I was actually blocking off this side of the room so they could build with the blocks without a baby invasion.  Mia noticed what I was doing and said, "Gary!  You're my hero!"  Ha ha! Silly Mia!  She makes me laugh!
