zoos and open houses and burps!

we spent a couple hours at the zoo today and had a great time. thank god our zoo is small because mia refused to sit in the stroller and had her own ideas on what was interesting. who knew that there were so many benches for us to sit in? not me! mia found great joy in discovering them all.

most of the animals were enjoying the early spring...laying around in the sun and sleeping. so mostly we just wandered from bench to bench, exhibit to exhibit, saying "shhh...night night" and "chair!" and so we got a year-long pass, of course!

after the zoo we decided to hit up a bunch of open houses in our area. at the very first one mia decided she had to go potty. and so there we were, in a strangers house, singing the potty song and high 5ing for the big poop. i was so embarassed (the owners were there) that i didn't bother to put a diaper on her on the way out. at the next house josh suggested that i throw a diaper on her but i thought that surely she wouldn't pee - she'd just gone potty! but no. she peed. in her pants, without a diaper, in a strangers house. we left, laughing our heads off! she spent the next couple open houses in her diaper. we're classy like that.

mia has a couple of new things to say these days. "big kids" - because they're so cool, you know. and "moo me" (excuse me) - she says it after each burp or fart without coaxing.

life could not be better.
