Mia said she did not want to eat any breakfast.  She sat at the table and I offered it two times and said, "That's fine, but you'll have to wait for lunch to eat then and I don't want you pestering me about how hungry you are."  And she played great all morning, never said a word about being hungry, and ate a great lunch.  She ate a large serving of ham sandwich, ate a large serving of peas, and two servings of mandarin oranges.  At lunch Mia and Cooper were yelling for Sophie to come out and eat.  :)  Cooper was a little frustrated and said, "Her won't come out!!"  :)

The sign language for "wash" is both hands closed (like a fist), palms toward each other, and rubbing together.  Mia was trying to wash her hands that way.  :)  That was pretty cute, but it doesn't work too well for getting your hands washed!!

Mia was lifting the igloo off the floor and I told her we keep the igloo on the floor because it's not safe and we may pinch someone's fingers or toes.  It wasn't two minutes later she lifted it again and pinched her toes.  Perfect example of "natural consequences."  "Honey, that's exactly why we keep the igloo on the floor."  And she didn't do it again the rest of the morning!

Cooper and Mia were asking for me to put a blanket over the Big Box to make their "tent."  So here's a picture of the tent.  (And they are playing in there.)

Mia and Cooper were playing a "hide-n-seek" game.  They were taking turns hiding in the same spot; behind the dress-up clothes hanging in the clothes rack.  (It was actually a pretty good hiding spot!) Then Mia would come to me and ask; "You see Cooper anywhere!?!"  Then it was Mia's turn to hide and Cooper would ask, "You see Mia anywhere!?!"
