Mya's Update

We all have had little colds here for about 2 weeks now so we use quite a few tissues. I used 2 at a time yesterday and put them down next to Myla and when I looked down at Myla she had them in her hands and was wiping her nose with them. It was the cutest thing ever. She's becoming quite a little character picking up on the different things we do and trying to do them herself. Even going potty. She loves the little potty so I sat her down on it and she went the tiniest bit. Coincidental I'm sure but hey at least she sat! She also enjoys all the girly things. Loves bracelets! She even wears my hair elastics as bracelets. I bought a bunch for her and she walks around holding her arm up so they don't fall off. Also probably about 6 weeks ago now she found Laura's small purse and put it on her shoulder. She walked around the house like a little diva. It's amazing to me that she knows to do this. Granted she sees me but I can't remember Mattingly as interested in doing this. I know he would wear my jewelery but not as insistent. I love it!! She is even keeping her headbands in longer. :) She must have about 20 of them. It's almost an addiction for me. Oh and Aunt Kristin bought kids finger nail polish for her birthday so Myla sits there while I paint and dry her nails! Mymy is becoming more aware of where Mattingly is and looks around the car when we drop him off at school. Once we go inside to pick him up she wants to run around with all the kids. I would like to find a little program for her when Mattingly starts going to school longer. She is definitely more social than Mattingly; most likely b/c she's not the only child. She will wave to cars and stand in the store staring at people and smile while rubbing her belly. Everyone thinks she is adorable. Everywhere we go people comment. And she eats up the attention! (Wish I could post pictures) Maybe I can start a new blog....

Uh oh

I'm out of storage space. I am using my free 1GB. Not sure what I will do about this....

Hangin out

Mattingly and Myla like hanging out together. Breakfast, books, couch time, and outside time. If Mattingly is out of the room and comes back Myla lights up with a big smile. They love each other.

Pumpkin Town USA

We met Em and her 2 little girls at Pumpkin Town USA last week. Not a very sunny day but it was still fun. We checked out the little town and went on the hayride which led us through the woods to view more pumpkin people doing different things. It's a cute place.

Little sister

I love being with my little sister. Playing in the sensory table, pushing her outside or even being a gentle spiderman. We went with Payton and her little sister Skylar to an event at the park last week. Payton and I got our faces painted! We waited in line and actually went through with getting it done. Our moms were so proud! We had fun bouncing and going down the big inflatable slide too!

Pre-school

Yesterday was Mattingly's first day of pre-school! He did really well. I dropped him off and kind of just walked out of the room. I did a little shopping and went to pick him up. He was sitting listening for music time. We stayed a little bit longer so he could participate and then he wanted to leave. He played with a little boy Garrison whom he hit it off with at the open house. I'm glad! We'll see how tomorrow goes.

Uncle Joel and Aunt Katy visit

We didn't get to see them much b/c they were busy traveling all over but it was fun anyway. We hung out Labor Day at mom and dad's. Ate, toured Elim Park, fed the ducks and played ball. Wed we ventured to the Maritime Aquarium in Norwalk. Cute place. Smaller than Mystic but I liked it. Mattingly loved touching the sting rays and baby sharks. We had to go there twice! After that we ate pizza at Zorba's. Then this past Sunday they came over with mom and dad for lunch and more baseball. Then we went out for ice cream. Always great to have you guys here! Next time you can actually stay with us!! =)
