Mia ate chex cereal and a couple bites of mixed fruit for breakfast.  For lunch she ate most of roast beef sandwich, sips of tomato soup, and a bite of lettuce salad.  Lettuce salad (no matter how I've dressed it up so far) is about the only thing I ever hear Mia say, "I don't like that."

Mia built the sidewalk you see in the picture and Cooper laid out all the bears.  He made sure they were all laying exactly the same - on their backs.  Then they moved the animals into the igloo and played with them there.  They also built tall towers to block the igloo entrance.  When they were in the igloo Mia started calling Cooper "Mommy."  And she wanted protection from that scary Elliott!  "Get that monster away!  Protect me Mommy, protect me!"  Cooper asked, "Like this?"  Mia said, "No, like this!"  (I couldn't see what they were doing.)  Mia said, "I'm scared Mommy!"  Elliott just sat there looking at them with an amused grin on his face.  :)

We did a toy, book, and puzzle exchange this weekend and the kids played a lot with these viewfinders or "cameras" as Mia calls them.  There are several different kinds of animals and birds in there and you push a button to move it along.  That was the first toy Mia played with this morning.  She said, "I've been looking for these!"

I sneezed pretty hard today - twice - and Mia said, "You don't feel very good today!"  Well it might seem that way, but actually I feel great, thank you!  :)

Friday after snack time Mia was helping put stuffed animals into the washer with me (preparing for toy exchange) and she was telling them all goodbye.  "Good bye babies, good bye babies" as she was slinging them into the washer.  :)
