barking orders

5:52 "I want to stand up. I'm done sleeping. Get me breakfast . I want to watch the 'Lizard of Poz'....MOM....."


For the last 15 minutes Mia has been calling out such commands from her room.
I was hoping she would go back to sleep, but no such luck. She has just walked in to the hallway and screams out again "MOM...i'm done sleeping"

So begins our day

7:00 AM

I can hear a moaning "moooom" coming from the other room.

She has just walked out to see Shane and asked "can I watch that movie with you?" Shane replies "nope its a daddy movie. "Can I make you some eggs?

I hear no response from her...maybe she is talking quietly, maybe she is answering with head nods

so begins our day

On the ride home from Thanksgiving

Last night, after hours of being in the car, we pointed out what appeared to be an almost full moon to Mia. She asked , after looking around for it," what did he eat?"

the day before thanksgiving vacation

Mia woke up this morning and walked straight into the living room.....I went out to meet her and started with some questions...how are you today...do you know what today is......she turned to me and said "Don't talk to me yet" ..... "can i have something to drink?"

I gave her some juice....she asked"what's this?" I said apple juice she replied "Sometimes I like apple juice"

Mia wakes up like her daddy many mornings...needs quite time to gear up for the day...guess I should get Shane's morning drink, coffee, ready before I start in with questions to him as well

calls from the couch

6:58 "Mom" i hear called from the sofa...she was up at 5:00, so this is like waking from morning nap #1

"mommy its a happy day" wait one minute " mommy i have dragon breath "wait 30 seconds "mommy i have dragon breath"

I am going to wait to hear more from Mia or wait for her to be a big girl and get up on her own and come to the office...a few minutes of quiet pass

7:02 "mommy I have dragon breath"

Now I hear Mis taking off her own wet diaper

"don't" then "go" is whispered under Mia's breath...she must be talking to Bunk now

"mommy i'm full..i have a wet diapie......"

So begins our day

in between grinding her teeth

Mia is tossing and turning in the other room. Its 5:31 and I would imagine she is up sooner than later. About ten minutes ago she was talking in her sleep and in between grinding her teeth she says" It is a go back to Maine day" She must miss her daddy and home, though she's having a blast here in South Carolina.

New twist to this blog

We have had months of computer problems, which have prevented us from really mainting this blog for Mia.

I am on the computer each morning, so I am going to try a different approach. I am going to try to capture Mia's first actions, words and such each morning.

Yesterday Mia was "typing" on the alarm clock here at the Folly Road beach house. Go figure 5:58 this morning the alarm goes off with crazy static. I run into to try to turn it off, before Mia wakes up. No luck she says " Mommy what happened". I tell her the alarm went off by accident....she rolls over and says "that happens...snuggle with me mommmy." I lay back in the bed and not one minute later Mia's announces "all done sleeping. Can I please watch TV?" So begins our day
