Mia's Likes and Dislikes

Mia is a rather intense little girl, and she has strong likes and dislikes. We saw some things right away, while other preferences are still emerging.
Likes: The color blue. Eating. Crackers. Looking at her own toes. Putting her socks in her mouth. Crawling at top speed (aided by her new Stride-Rite "pre-walker" shoes). Listening to music. Taking all the books off the bottom shelf of her book shelf. Chasing after Sam. Taking a bath. Anything electronic that lights up (especially Blackberries and iPods). Her green blankie. The pink stuffed poodle that rattles. The musical toy we call "bride of Chuckie" due to its red blinking eyes.
Dislikes: Being diapered. Getting dressed. Waiting for anything or anyone. Being spoon-fed (she permitted it in China, but once we got home it was all over). Pretending we are torturing her when we are giving her Keflex even though we can tell she likes the taste. Pajamas with feet.

This pajamas with feet thing took us a while to figure out, and it is still a little speculative at this point. Mia hadn't been sleeping through the night as she had in China, and we couldn't figure it out. We tried a lot of different things (including buying a twin bed so one of us could sleep where she could see us), but nothing was working. We did notice that she thrashed around a lot in her crib, and was always stretching out her feet and legs as if she were uncomfortable. Yesterday, Jeff observed that on the nights she'd slept soundly, she was almost always wearing the one pair of pajamas that didn't have feet. I'd been avoiding using those pj's (which had been a desperation purchase at a Wal-Mart in Nanchang) because I was afraid her little tootsies would get cold. Besides, they button up the front, which only lengthens the time Mia struggles against getting dressed. Yesterday, after Jeff advanced his theory, I went right to the Carter's store and bought a couple more pairs of pj's without feet. Guess what? Last night was the first night she didn't wake up in 2 weeks. I have high hopes for tonight.
