Mia finally does Build-A-Bear! Her reward for being a big helper while Meemaw watched the girls when mom and dad went on a childless vacation.Mia is our busy 4 year old peanut - gymnastics, swimming, dance, preschool and starting this fall - soccer. As long as she is busy, she is happy!! It took a while to adjust to having a little sister around, but this summer Mia has really turned into mommy's helper. Her favorite jobs - sweeping the floors and helping Lily put on her shoes and brush her teeth.
Best Mia tales this summer -
1. while on vacation in FL, we were at the beach with meemaw (that is my mom, Linda) and we were getting ready to go to dinner. We were going to a VERY casual beach restaurant so my mom didn't blow her hair dry. She left it wavy and when Mia saw her she said, "Meemaw, is that how you are wearing your hair?" When my mom replied yes, Mia said, "but everyone is going to laugh at you." You have to love an honest little girl. :)
2. having to explain the years of practice and hard work it takes to make it to the olympics and do the types of tricks those athletes do. While watching the games this summer she broke down watching gymnastics and wanting to know why her teacher wasn't teaching her the same things in her class. We had a meltdown and lots of tears!! The next class she asked her teacher to please start teaching her some of the same moves - she was "ready to learn and be like the olympics people." The cute part was watching her get excited when the athletes look in the camera and wave - she just knows they were waving to her personally.
