10/9/2013

Mia ate jelly toast and two servings of dried mangoes for breakfast.  For lunch she ate most of her bean & beef burrito, ate sweet potatoes, and three servings of tropical fruit.

We did some more painting today and I had to take another picture.  Love that tongue!  :)  The kids had fun painting at art time.  Mia was leaving lots of paint on her paper so I said, "You can paint with your hands."  She heard it as "Paint your hands!"  So all of them started painting their hands.  (With their brushes.)    It was pretty funny.  :)  But she also did some finger painting!  And table painting!  And face painting!  Nora was sitting across the table so she wasn't able to paint her!

I like hearing Mia try different words and she is used to me saying, "Mia, say Hippo!"  And then, "Mia, say Hippopotamus!"  Today when I said, "Mia, say Hippo!" she said, "Hippo-potisha!"  Lauralea and I got a big laugh out of that!  You're a great kid Mia!

All three girls were sitting on the climber steps working on each other's hair again.  I've been working hard at recognizing when they are being gentle to each other and when they are being good friends and then commenting positively about it.  And that was a good example of one of those times.

I was changing Nora's diaper and Mia was wanting to see, but she was pushing in front of me, between the changing table and me.  That wasn't working so I moved her to the side and she didn't like it and was whining to Cooper about it.  :)  "Coopa!....jabber jabber, whine whine......Coopa!"
