Mia ate two servings of whole wheat bagel and ate dried apricots for breakfast. For lunch she ate chicken, elbow noodles topped with shredded cheese, peas, and applesauce.
I wanted to remember to tell you how hard Mia worked at helping pick up toys yesterday after nap time before we went outside. She and Nora were both very motivated with the reward of going outside and boy they got with the program! She brought me one of the combs and said, "Comb!" and pointed to shelf that it went on with the rest of the combs! Good job Mia!
It was fun watching her read books to Nora this morning. She patted the arm of the chair for Nora to sit; "Sit down!" Then she was singing one of the books we do; "Baby Booga...." (Baby Beluga). Then she saw the book "Row Row Your Boat" and immediately started singing it and doing the actions. Super job Mia!
These two girls remind me of a couple little critters first thing in the morning as they go through the daily ritual of establishing their territory! Then after a few minutes, sometimes it takes until after breakfast, they get into their playing routine! Mia played with lots of food toys, singing with the microphones, reading books with Nora, and then they were playing their game of peeking through the hole in the table with one of them on the floor and one of them peeking through the hole. And they were taking turns very nicely (on their own initiative) going from the table to the floor. This kind of play (taking turns) is more advanced play than the "parallel play" I was writing about yesterday!
Mia also did a super job with the sign language we did today. There are 10 different ones we're doing and she nailed them all. This does not include any of the color signs we do; she's still working on those colors.
I brought the paper cutter up from downstairs and we cut up colored paper and then they put the colored pieces onto the glue dots I put on their paper. Mia kept lifting hers up and getting glue on her fingers; basically having a good time figuring out what the sticky stuff is all about! :)
