Last year, we did a year-end "interview with Mia." This year, Jeff encouraged me to do another, but I've been busy managing our kitchen remodel. (Watch for photos in 2 weeks.) I guess he got tired of waiting for me, since he went ahead and conducted the "interview" himself. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
Jeff: What was the best thing about your holiday visit to your relatives in Minnesota?
Mia: lots of practice with my sign language for the word “cold”
playing with my cousins
unwrapping presents and playing with the wrapping paper and box (not always the gift)
sleeping in a “big girl” bed
Jeff: You seem to use the word “Boppa” for Grandma and Grandpa—Why?
Mia: Efficiency I guess. I say Boppa and they all come running to pay attention to me. I tried the word Nana for Grandma but would rather use Nana to ask for a Banana.
Jeff: You recently turned two. What is the best thing about turning two?
Mia: I am talking more every day. I can put on my own pants, socks and shoes. I am spending a lot of time improving my ability to jump (walking was hard; jumping is cool!)
Jeff: Who are your best friends?
Mia: My absolutely best friend is, of course, my nanny Sarah. She and I have a lot of fun. We read books, learn letters, numbers and sign language, play with toys and make lotsa crafts (and doesn’t mind if I make a mess). She gives me lots of hugs which feel great. My best friends at school are Lilla, Emma and Kate. Emma and Kate are twins and I will be attending their birthday party next week.
Jeff: Any thoughts on life plans or career at this point?
Mia: When I was one, I played my Daddy’s drum set so I was thinking of a career in music. I have been told that girls from my region of China tend to be tall so I have also thought about playing basketball or volley ball. My Auntie Paula got me a doctor kit for Christmas, which has me pondering a career in medicine. I admire Sarah so much I may want to be a nanny or teacher.
