Random Conversations Heard Today

Rob had to work today so it is just Mommy, Mia, and CJ home alone. We have a wind advisory so it is bitter cold outside, which isn't very inviting for the walk I had hoped we'd do. Instead, here are some snippets of some conversations Mia and I have had today.

Me to Mia as we're leaving her bedroom: Mia, I'm sad you didn't take a nap today.
...About 10 minutes later downstairs...
Mia: Mom, you are sad? I make you happy. I'll play instruments and make music. Music makes you happy.
Mia proceeds to play various instruments she got for Christmas (recorder, harmonica, castanets, etc).
Mia: Mom, are you happy now? I made you happy by playing music.


Mia: Mom. Baby brother is my horse.
(Mia is behind her brother holding the hood of his sweatshirt as reigns.)
Me: Mia, don't pull on the hood. It could hurt your brother.
Mia: No Mom, he's my horse.
Gall-Up horse. Gall-Up! (Waving the hood up and down and thankfully, not strangling CJ.)
Come on horse.
Gitty-down.

Crawling

It's been hard to remember to video tape and then upload the videos of CJ crawling so we finally have some. We don't have it on video, but he's also now pulling himself to standing on low objects like the stairs.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
