As you can see, one of Mia's Christmas gifts was a small set of drums. They actually sound pretty darn good for a children's drum set. Fortunately, Mia doesn't play them for more than 2-3 minutes at a time. Otherwise daddy might be second guessing his decision to purchase them. Mia is a lot of fun. She now speaks in 15 word sentences, and sometimes strings multiple sentences together into entire paragraphs. She usually does this when she's trying to tell us exactly what she wants us to do for her :)
She can now count from 1-20 and backwards from 10-0 in English, from 1-5 in Spanish, and can sing the ABC song. Her memory appears to be better than mommy or daddy's. This afternoon we had lunch at O'Charley's restaurant. We had been there over a month ago, at which time Mia and I played with the rocks outside the windows, one of which was shaped like a potato. Mia, without prompting from us, asked to go outside and play with the rocks. I asked her what shape rocks we played with last time, and she said one was shaped like a potato. I couldn't believe she remembered that. Anyway, each day I'm amazed by something that she says or does.
