Mia ate half of her malt-o-meal cereal and ate raisins for breakfast.  For lunch she ate a bite of ground beef, half of elbow noodles topped with shredded cheese, ate apple slices, and mixed fruit.  Mia said, "Thank you for this breakfast; Thank you Gary!  You're a good cooker!!"  Love it!  At the lunch table Cooper announced, "I got pockets!"  Mia immediately asked, "Do you have cookies in your pocket!?!"  Ha ha ha!  I mean, what else are pockets for?  That made Cooper laugh and he said, "Nooooo!"

After breakfast Cooper and Mia probably played with the blocks you see in the pictures for 45 minutes!  They had the igloo completely full and here is the funny part concerning the first picture; Mia is inside the igloo!  She said, "Come in Cooper, come in!!!"  Silly Mia!  (About a minute after I took this picture the blocks were going in every direction and the igloo was about four inches off the floor!  Ha!  Mia was on her way out!!)

Now it was Cooper's turn to be inside the igloo.  They were using all of the building blocks that we have and it's amazing how many they could jam inside.

I got out the seven different "shapes" we glued to the popsicle sticks and Cooper loved doing those.  He remembered them all.  He loves "shapes" and never gets tired of practicing them.  Mia couldn't care less about shapes, but language is her thing and she loves words; learning new words and saying them over and over.  Yesterday afternoon she was walking around saying, "parallelogram" and "trapezoid."  :)

I was in the kitchen getting the lunch trays and Cooper started crying.  I heard Mia say, "Take a deep breath Cooper!!"  Ha!  She's heard me say that (over and over) when she's running wild and getting out of control.  And of course I show her what it looks like as well!  I guess she figured Cooper needed to practice too.
