So, What Did You Do Today?

Today I was recuperating at my parents’ house with my sore throat.  They let me nap while they watched Miss Thing.  Right before we left I took a picture with my mom’s camera of MM trying to get to her behind-the-door spice rack.    And yes, her hair is in a pony tail.  I put it in one this morning as a joke and she took it out, but then wanted it back in.  I gave her another one and she kept it all day…if only she would leave all her big, beautiful bows in.  Sigh.

That child is too tall for her own good!  I think she was reaching for the ground mustard, who knows.  Anyway, I started looking through my mom’s camera and realized she & I had taken some cute pictures of MM the past couple of weeks.  As I looked through them I thought it was so neat to be able to see what they do during the day while I’m at work.  All I have to say is, MM has a fantastic time and is doted on by many!

 This one was taken last Monday…what day was that?  January 25th?  She’s sitting in her “Barney Chair” waiting for a favorite dinosaur to come on the TV.  This little rocker was actually my dad’s, circa 1947.    All you have to say is, ‘Barney’s coming on!’, and she runs crawls and gets in her little rocker.  I actually took a video of her doing it last weekend…I’ll have to post it.

Here she is last Friday, the 29th.  She’s looking out over the back deck at Vivi running around (and barking) in my parents’ backyard.  She’s wearing her official Valentine’s Day outfit, but unfortunately, you can’t see her heart tights or red shoes…but trust me, she’s precious.  hehe

 These next two are from this past Monday (the 1st).  Here she is “driving” her green car with the door open.  No matter how many times we close the door, she always opens it back up.

I mentioned a few weeks ago that she mastered holding her bottle the day before we took it away.  Well, she’s definitely mastered her sippy cups too.  This is how she drinks out of them–she just leaves them in her mouth and when she’s ready to drink, she does–it’s like a paci and a sippy cup, all in one.  She is too funny.   This is her with one of her very favorite visitors, Mamaw.  (Oh, and I made that little Valentine’s Day shirt)

And last, but not least, here she is yesterday in her Barney Chair with her cow.  After this picture was made, she and my parents had a big day–they went and ate at the food court at the mall (she loves a Chick-Fil-A kids meal and can now eat 3 of her nuggets!), rode on the carousel (she’s not a fan), and got a new dog–which she and my dad named “Spooky”–and a small black dog side kick at Build-A-Bear.  She loves going to the mall to people watch (getting new stuffed animals and outfits doesn’t hurt either).

It makes me so happy knowing that her days are spent with some of the people who love her the very most.  It’s the next best thing to me being there with her.  I’m so excited that I get the whole summer off with her and that starting in August I’ll have every other week with her.  It makes my heart happy.
