Mia has been showing more interest in singing and dancing. As we ride in the minivan, she often entertains us with songs of her own invention. This makes her mother happy. It is really fun to hear her cute little voice singing about whatever is on her mind. In addition, this means she has stopped insisting that we play the Laurie Berkner "Buzz Buzz" CD every single time we get in the van. (Nothing against Laurie Berkner. It is a great CD with lots of catchy tunes, but after 9 months, I am tired of it.)
I recently dug up a "Wiggles" electric guitar that I purchased for Mia at a rummage sale 2 - 3 years ago. Up until now, she has been putting the guitar down on its back and pushing the buttons that play the songs. Jeff and I have been periodically demonstrating how to hold the guitar properly, but she wasn't interested. She just wanted to push the button that plays the song that goes, "Fruit Salad, Yummy Yummy" over and over.
Then all of a sudden one morning she picked up the guitar and started playing and dancing and jumping around the kitchen. I love this photo of her, airborne, pony tail flying.
