two weeks later...

passover
josh's parents came over for passover and we had a very relaxing dinner and visit. josh and i cooked and recovered from another night of screaming from mia while babi and zadi were trapped in the playroom with mia and her blocks. everyone got to visit and josh and i got some peace and quiet. until around midnight...

mia is now 19 months old
in only 4 more months she will be 2. that can't be right...

easter
after another night of screaming (this one a good 3 hour block) we had my aunt nancy and uncle bill over for brunch. yet another relaxing holiday! mia's too little and doesn't have any cousins around to teach her the goodness of the easter basket so we have been handing out the candy sparingly. she loses her mind when she sees the basket "BITE! BITE! BITE!" so we keep it hidden. yes, we're bad parents.

happy easter from little ms. cool

baby ballet
what? i didn't mention that we're taking a mama and baby ballet class? well we are. stop laughing.

it's 3 saturdays of mia and a handful of other girls in a gym. they dance and since and run in a circle. not really ballet. except for the outfits. oh the outfits! tulle and sequins and tights oh my! but not mia. mia is in sweat pants (what? they're pink!) and a tee shirt. again, bad parents.

so far the two times she's walked into the class she's had this look on her face like we're playing a joke on her. "no really, where are we going? and why are these girls dressed so silly? can we go outside now?" but then 20 minutes in she starts playing along and has a good time.

mia's first ballet class

maybe tumbling instead?

and last night...
it's been so nice the past couple days that we can go outside and play in the yard when we get home. last night mia spent an hour running around the yard with various sticks, rotting oranges, leaves, etc. singing her name over and over. "mia mia...mia mia...mia mia..." for an hour. too funny.

and she slept!!!! all the way through the night like normal. whew. so now i plan on wearing her out but good before bedtime.

run run run!
