She loves taking care of her babies.
Alessandro made her a baby carrier so she was trying it out. What a thoughtful big brother. :)
Her new scooter...so excited. :)
Grandma and Grandpa came to visit in the afternoon and that is always a special treat.
In the evening we went to Build a Bear so she could make her own little stuffed animal. It was cute to watch her. She picked out her bear and her outfit and then the sales lady put in her mind the bear needed shoes so we said that would be fine. But she was picky about what shoes!! haha It was so funny. Her brothers would bring her shoes as well as the lady that worked there and she would try them on, step back and look at them on the bear and say "nope". Then when she tried on the white sandals she looked at them and said "perfect". So after about 5 different shoes she found the "perfect" ones. I thought it was hilarious.
I failed to get a good picture of her with her bear. It has a hello kitty dress with white sandals. Quite fitting for my little girl. This was her on the way home very excited about her bear.
Really the main reason we got a bear was to try and help her sleep. Yes, my three year old still slept with a pacifier and we kept telling her on her 4th birthday she had to stop sleeping with them. So in order to help her sleep she could hold her bear instead of sucking a pacie. The first night was HORRIBLE!! Lots and lots of tears before she fell asleep...but we weren't going to give in because she was way too old to go back to that. So she finally fell asleep, but then woke up like every hour whimpering and looking for her pacie. And since we are all in the same room right now I woke up every time she did. It was terrible. The second night we put her to bed and after like 10 min of crying she seemed to have fallen asleep. Awesome!! We thought she was adjusting well!! Until we went to bed and checked on her. She was laying on her back with her little blanket over her head. We thought it was so cute and were chuckling about it until I pulled the blanket off her face so she could breathe better only to find a pacifier in her mouth!! What!!? I took it out and she only woke up a couple times at night. In the morning we asked her about it. Apparently she found the pacie in her pillow case and she put the blanket over her head so we wouldn't see. hahahahaha Too funny. I wish I had taken a picture of it. :( Oh well. After that she was good to go without the pacie and fell asleep just fine with her bear instead. She even undresses her every night to go to sleep. Too cute. Girls are so different than boys!! ;)
We also had some cake and ice cream that night. She wanted a My Little Pony cake. And of course she needed Fluffy to sit by her.
Mia is a fun little girl. She likes to be independent and do things on her own. But at the same time she always wants me close. She often thinks she is the boss and gets all upset when things don't go her way. :) She loves to play house and is always taking care of her dolls. Now that we don't live on a hill she has mastered the art of pedaling a bike. :) And she loves to ride her scooter. She still enjoys wrestling her brothers but also loves the girlie things like hair accessories, jewelery and making sure she has the right clothes on. It doesn't matter if the clothes match, in her eyes they do and there is no changing her mind. :) Her favorite colors are pink and purple. Her favorite foods are pasta and chicken nuggets...oh and candy and chips. :) She is still in speech therapy but is making progress. She is a very loud talker, it almost sounds like she is yelling, but she's not. She just talks really really loudly (only when she is in a familiar setting with familiar faces. Otherwise she is as quiet as a mouse and won't even talk). :) She is in preschool this year and couldn't be happier about it. She LOVES it. We love our little Mia and the different perspective on life that she brings to our family. Happy Birthday!!!
