Mia ate two servings of breakfast: whole wheat toast and canned prunes.  For lunch she ate ham, crackers, half of bean & bacon soup, and half of strawberries.  At breakfast Elliott was making silly laughing sounds and Mia said, "He thinks he's funny!!"  Ha ha!  Yes he does and actually he is really funny!  :)

Mia and Cooper played for a LONG time taking turns in this legos drawer.  I timed Cooper the first time (and it was the longest) and he was in there (with the drawer shut) for 15 - 20 minutes!  He finally said, "Get me out of here!" and Mia pulled the drawer open.  Mia was in there for almost five minutes and that's a long time for her!  Cooper was using his head to shut the drawer - again!!  I guess that's one way to use your head!  :)

They were primarily playing with the legos, but they jammed bears, dolls, and food toys in the drawer as well. It was starting to get quite crowded!  We also sang songs, read books, did some signs, and identified shapes.  Mia was so engaged with all of those activities!  I was very impressed and it gives me lots of hope for her with the upcoming Preschool!

I've mentioned so many times how I love Mia's advanced use of language!  She has an amazing grasp of language - both in how she uses it and remembers it!  If she hears a phrase, she's got it and repeats it in applicable situations.  She said, "I've been looking for that phone for 20 years!!"  LOL  I was getting ready to read a book and I asked what this one is about and she said, "Bill Grogan's goat was feeling fine."  And that's the first line of the book.
