the people's chicken and other bits.

mia has been learning the difference between what people do and what every thing else does. people, by the way, do quite a lot. every day she tells me something that people do, not charlie. and not the rocks, and not the plants, and so on and so forth. and then there are all the people out and about doing things! all the peolpes are eating! all the peoples are walking! the peoples are quite busy, it seems.

yesterday we were at ross returning some shoes and she passed by a basket of crap and a chicken caught her eye. i told her the chicken wasn't hers and we kept walking. as we walked she told me all about how it was "the people's chicken, mama. not mia's."

last night josh asked mia for a hug and kiss as she was on her way to bed and without so much as slowing down she told him "next time."

josh has taught mia that when we're stuck in traffic she should yell at all the other cars "get of the way, cars!" it's only funny for a minute.

she up and grew on us all of the sudden. mia has been stuck in roughly the same size clothes and shoes for about 6-8 months now. which is fine with me. she has the tiniest little feet - so narrow and dainty. we just picked her up a few pairs of size 5s to get her through the fall/winter (she's been wearing a 4.5 to 5 without complaint, mind you) and decided to size her feet while we waited at the store on sunday. turns out we've been binding her feet. she's a 6 and we were told to buy her a 6.5 since she's growing. i'm still a little freaked out that she up and grew a size like overnight.

my baby is no longer a baby.

The defining of what "people" do is so much fun.

We're at the point where we're making up silly senarios, like what would a deer sell at their yard sales? MAMA, Deers don't HAVE yard sales.

That "next time" bit cracks me up. My niece said a similar thing a few months ago (she's just turned 3). We were leaving her house, and I asked for a goodbye hug. She turned, looked me square in the eye and said "No. I too busy". Apparently I need to call ahead to get in her appointment book.
