Diaper Change

Millie loves The Wonder Pets. The main characters are a guinea pig named Linnie, a duckling named Ming Ming and a turtle named Tuck. Each episode is a mini musical with some repeated refrains so you can sing a long. The duckling often sings at the climax of the show "This... is... sewious..."

Just now during a particularly pungent diaper change:

Daddy: Whew!
Millie: This... is... sewious...

This... is... hysterical.

I ain't 'fraid o' no goats

A friend of mine with a blog tries to post a picture every Wednesday and calls it "Wordless Wenesday". So I'm going to try to start up with that. Here's a first sampling. This is yesterday at a local farm, Clark's Elioak Farm. The farm has a little petting zoo with baby goats. She loved it. She was even brave enough to get up on a horse for the first time.

*Clearly this has not been wordless so I could introduce the idea. Next time you'll know.

Overheard

Daddy: Millie, time to go upstairs and get ready for bed.

Millie (focusing on her coloring): No! I have a clean diaper and lots to do to get ready.

woah!

It is so fun watching her get excited about things. She has such enthusiasm and passion for life.

Whenever we drive anywhere these days she narrates and gets excited about driving under the underpasses- she calls them tunnels.

Millie: Here we goooo! Is that a tunnel, Mommy? Here it is! Whoooooo!

Just a few months ago, we made a short trip to the Konterra Model Airpark to see the model airplanes take to the skies! There were 4-5 pilots operating their planes. It was pretty quiet except for the plane engines... that is until we got there.

The pilots were happy to hear Amelia shouting "WOAH!" as they performed loops and rolls. I'm sure it gave voice to that same excitement they have inside but are now too grownup to display. Whenever she said, "Did you SEE THAT MOMMY!" You could see the grin on their faces as if to say, "Yeah, I think it's pretty cool too."
