Mia is now 2 years and 2 months old! I marvel at the fact, almost daily, that I have a two year old. I guess I knew it would happen some day, that I would have a daughter, but I never realized I would love being her Mom this much! She is such a cool kid - we are blessed and so lucky! I can’t wait to see her each morning!
Mia is growing so fast these days its a bit hard to keep up! Don’t get me wrong I LOVE to shop for her but I hate to give away those clothes that are just so cute and barely worn! I guess most Mom’s feel this way! We have not weighed her lately but I would guess she is very close to 30 pounds now and her height is around 36 or 37 inches. Most strangers are surprised to hear she is just a young two for her size. Like her teacher said today “Mia likes her food”! School is going great. I’m very happy with her new room and her new part-time schedule. She is thriving and so content. We look forward to a more relaxed summer schedule but school (8-12) will be included 3 or 4 days a week. Mia needs to be away from me for a few hours and I need it too. Its a good thing. School has also increased Mia’s vocabulary so much and she is talking in sentences. They are slow so she can say just what she wants, but I love it! This morning she said and signed for “more”. I said “more what?” She said slow and deliberate “More cereal bar please.” Yeah Mia! She also learned her first, not so nice word that we heard when she asked our cat if he “was stupid” because he would not go through the gate as she was instructing! Oh my! We will take the bad with the good....
Mia is still a VERY good sleeper and I thank my lucky stars ALL THE TIME! She is still in her crib and has not tried to escape yet. She sleeps through the night with a wake up or call out maybe once a month. I check on her a reassure her and she goes back down, no problem. She is sleeping from 7:30 pm till 7 or 7:30 am. Some mornings I have had to wake her at 8 so I can get her to school and me to work! She naps at home now (except for Wed. when I work late) for about 2+ hours. Its great. I love having her nap at home and we enjoy our afternoons playing play doh, the train set, watching Dora or going to the park. We also love to walk the neighbors miniature Dachshund “Charlie”. Mia LOVES dogs and walking Charlie is better than owning a dog for now ( as far as I’m concerned)!
Thats about it. All is well. Everyone is healthy and happy and that is ALL that matters!
