Mila started her third year of preschool this year and absolutely loves school. She is doing so well and learns so much, not only from the teachers but also from the other kids (both good and bad...but mostly good).
She is becoming more adventurous and even tried sushi recently and, ever so polite, kept it in her mouth until someone told her that she could spit it out.
It seems Nellie has changed quite a bit this month as well and is giving out many more hugs. She has started saying "G" for Uncle G and won't stop blabbering but you can't understand a word that she is saying other than "Where'd daddy go?" and "Where is it?" She has started nodding "yes" and I think she knows that "yes" gets her more than "no" does because she is doing it all of the time.
She is still doing great at Kerry's house and is starting to play with Siena, now that she is a little older (10mo) and almost walking.
She has surprised me with how in tune with her body she is in that she knows when she has gone poop and when she needs (I think) to go pee pee. Sometimes we will find her in the bathroom, screaming for us, and she wants to go through the motions of sitting on the potty, wiping and flushing the toilet. Therefore, I thought it would be a good time to potty train her. This lasted about 45min because every time, EVERY time, I took her in the bathroom she would scream "No! No! NO!" So that was very short lived....guess we will try again later.
The girls have started playing better together and are both continuing to play using their imaginations more. It's so cute to not only see them playing together but to also see them making up stories and playing lots of "house."
We celebrated our 5th anniversary on Labor Day and spent the day together down near the beach.
A couple months ago Mila called Aunt Sissy and invited her to her birthday party, even though at that time, there wasn't even a party yet. A couple weeks later Sissy called to say that she and William were flying out to California because she couldn't miss her oldest niece's 4th birthday!
Unfortunately right before they got here Mila came down with something and had thrown up a couple times and not gone to school. She seemed fine Friday night when Sissy and William got here but on Saturday morning she woke up and was just feeling terrible.
We spent the day at home watching movies and before long she was feeling like her normal self again.
While they were here Robert and I got the biggest surprise from my sister one night when she asked Robert and I to be William's Godparents!!! What a great promotion this was! We are so excited for the future and what this new title brings. He's the little boy we never had :)
Mila was spoiled rotten on her birthday by not only her parents, but also her grandparents, aunt, uncles and friends.
Sadly, the weekend flew by in a flash and before we knew it Sissy and William had to get on a plane back home to Uncle Bret. While it's a great feeling that we already have our next trip to see them booked, it IS a little sad it's six months away. As we know, though, time will definitely fly by!
When Mila went to school on Tuesday (and had another celebration) one of her teachers asked her, "Mila, when did you turn four?" And, with all seriousness, she said, "After I turned three." That's my girl <3
Just a few days after Mila's birthday we celebrated Robert's birthday as well. Mila was almost as excited to celebrate his birthday as much as hers because there was treats involved. The girls and I went to the bakery and Mila picked out his birthday treat and we went home to wait for him to get off work. We all sang him happy birthday (included Nellie!), had our treats and opened cards and presents.
It was another great month.
