Mireya Has An Attitude!

Jason and I were in the office. We were talking and laughing. Mireya comes running in and growls at us. (Yes, growls. She does that now with some frequency.) "Hey! I'm trying to play play dough!" Then she starts walking away. I told her, "Oh, that sounds fun, honey!" Mireya: "I am really really mad right now!" Me: "What? Why?" Mireya:"You and Daddy are too loud!" Well, geez! Mireya is little Miss Bossy-Moody Pants! I have no idea where she gets that from! ;)

Sweet and Sassy

     

Climbing Onto Counters

I have considered myself very fortunate up to this point that Mireya has not yet figured out she can use chairs to climb onto the counters and gain access to contents of the upper cupboards. As of yesterday, she figured this out. She put a chair up by the counter, climbed up, grabbed a cup and lid, and got herself some water. This included screwing the lid onto the cup, and doing all of this without making a mess. Since, she has been dragging chairs all over to get into cupboards. If we were not moving I would be tot-locking them.

Many children are natural climbers; I was one. Mireya never has been. She is a careful child, who does not do things recklessly, unless she is tired. I am grateful, and I hope that this newly discovered ability is one she is just as careful about.

This is my silly girl who cannot pose seriously for a photo. :)
