we are in Waller visiting my family, celebrating my birthday, having our baby shower and all together having a great weekend last weekend, but here is what stands out in my mind about the whole thing-
Saturday afternoon we are spending a beautiful day outside with my family, my mom's long time friend Becky and her granddaughter who is 6 weeks older than Mia. Mia decides that she doesn't want to play outside, she wants to go inside to watch 'toons. We say, no, it is a beautiful day outside and we have friends to play with, we are not going to sit inside and watch movies. She stomps up the steps at Memaw and Grandad's house, turns around and blows a huge raspberry at Rex and I. In case you don't remember raspberries, it is the tongue sticking out, wagging, spitting thing that is completely inappropriate to do to your parents. Anyhow, we didn't see it, but mom told us she had done it, so Rex went to address the situation because she had stomped herself inside, obviously to ask an unsuspecting Memaw to turn on a movie for her. So after pacing back and forth with her hands on her hips in their house, just breathing heavy and calming herself, Rex talks to her about her naughtiness and brings her back out to play. She tells him, in a big pout, "Well, ok, I guess I could eat a bug or something. Maybe that would be fun." Turns out, playing in the leaves works just as well...
