Harmonica

I FINALLY got Mia her own harmonica! You know how your kid will totally dig a toy at a pal's house, but once you buy it, they lose all interest? That did NOT happen here. As I'm sitting here writing this blog entry, I'm smiling because Mia just went downstairs and after a minute, I heard her music. When she plays, my heart smiles. This is how Andrea must feel when her son, Domi, plays his trumpet or piano....not that I'm saying she's THAT good :)

Is she the laziest harmonica player you've ever seen?!?!

she digs her kaleidoscope, too

Mia very distrustful of a........

FLY!

Best Shot Monday - Perspective

Lately, Mia's been into getting different perspectives on things. Her three most fave things in the whole wide world to play with are binoculars, magnifying glasses, and her new clear kaleidoscope (thanks for the link Mel). She's FASCINATED with them, and can't go anywhere without one of those three items. I don't let her take them into a playdate...ohhhh the commotion that would cause, but when she happens to find one AT a playdate...she's done. No other toy or child is required for her happiness. When she hits three, she's totally getting her own camera. I can't wait to see the world through her eyes.

Here she is taking a break from the telescopic binocular world to check back in with reality.
