Mio is quite the little performer these days! Every day she entertains us and makes us smile and laugh with all her dancing, singing, acting, and jokes!

Twirls and spins

She loves being a “princess”

 

It was only a matter of time before she fell in love with Frozen

Mio looking very 80s
Looking very 80s with this frazzled look… a result of her recent obsession with headbands.

 

She also likes to sing Japanese songs… though she doesn’t always get the lyrics right…


 

I helped her out a little the second time. 😉


 

Singing 「とんぼのめがね」


 

Encore!


 

Mio with a blue tongue
She likes to shout, “tongue’s blue!” and show her tongue after eating blue popsicles, lollipops, etc…

She wanted me to join in this selfie.

Mio’s funny video message to Grandma and Auntie Miwa who were in Japan at the time:


 

Mio eating California rolls
HUGE smiles when I made her her favorite California rolls for lunch. (Note the Mirei photobomb!)

 

Mio playing with my socks
Mio was playing with my socks here. She took of my sock and her sock, and switched them so that she put her sock on my foot, and my sock on her foot… silly girl.

Pretending to be Max from Where the Wild Things Are: “Be still!”

Ready to star in “Singing in the Rain”!

It’s really a joy to see Mio’s personality coming out more and more every day.
