My Favorite Moments





I love these moments! Mia has been really into playing pretend these days and maybe its the child development background, but I get SO excited when I see her doing this because I know what a good developmental milestone it is and how great it is for creativity and independence etc. etc. (Not to mention the fact that having her entertain herself for 2 hour blocks at a time is great for my personal productivity!) These particular pictures stemmed from a conversation we had early that morning that went something like this. Mia: "Mom is it my Birthday today?" Me: "No your Birthday is in March" Mia: "I want it to be my Birthday todayyyyy and I'm gonna be five" Me: Well I'm sorry its not your Birthday today but maybe you could pretend its your Birthday today and you could get your dolls and have a pretend Birthday party with cake and everything." Mia: Runs off to her room to get "Party Supplies" apparently deciding that Mom actually has a good ideas and proceeds to entertain herself for the next two hours (and really the rest of the day stopping only a few times for potty breaks, lunch, a nap, and to pose for a couple pictures...its rough being famous. :))
Guests at the party included: Daddy's (yes I meant Daddy's) Cabbage Patch Doll pulled out from an old box recently, The Grinch (Fully clad in one of Maddi's diapers) and the Easter Bunny complete with a tutu. Life's Great.
