Some videos from the month of July…
Mio reading “Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?”
Mirei is learning to use her fork! Here she is eating tofu on her own…
Breakfast on a Sunday morning:
Playing with toys at World Market
Mio doing a dance over her love for Lalaloopsy!
Mio’s last day at preschool is April 10 (since we’re moving her to a full-day daycare), and she had a birthday celebration on April 8, the first day back from spring break. It was bittersweet because it was like a birthday party and farewell party in one! Her teachers and classmates all told her they’d miss her very much and were sad to have to say goodbye.
Mio couldn’t contain her excitement while we were baking the cookies:
At preschool, parents are allowed to bring a birthday treat and a book to read to the class on their child’s birthday. I chose Me… Jane by Patrick McDonnell, which is one of Mio’s favorites, and it seems like the class enjoyed it, too!
Mio has also said she’ll miss her preschool and her teachers and friends there, but she’s also expressed excitement about her new daycare! We’ve had a great two years at the preschool, and are so thankful for all the wonderful teachers and classmates there that have made it such a great experience for Mio and our family.
Playing with disco lights before bedtime:
Mirei pretending to “read” my Kindle:
Mirei being goofy at lunch:
Tickles from Daddy!
Teatime and twirls:
Roll call! (Reminds me of this roll call video from over two years ago!)
The girls dancing with Daddy:
With the holiday season comes so much joy and laughter, and this month was definitely full of funny and sweet moments brought to us by our little girls! Here are some moments that brought smiles (and at times, uncontainable laughter) to our faces!
Mio making funny voices, trying to imitate Minnie Mouse:
The girls listening to the talking Mother Goose doll sent to them from their grandparents in California:
Mirei climbed into a cardboard box, we turned it into a makeshift bed… and it did not end well.
Mio randomly said this repeatedly one night…
Who is “John”?! We actually don’t know any Johns…?
Mio reading the library book we had borrowed for Mirei. She still loves baby books, and she’s still my baby. ♥
We hope these silly and heartwarming moments bring you some holiday cheer! Can’t believe it’s already Christmas tomorrow!
There’s nothing Mio loves more than to sit down with a good book! I think reading is so important for kids, and because I was such a bookworm myself as a child, it fills me with so much joy and pride to see Mio taking an interest in books at such an early age. We read to her often every day, but there are also many times when she’ll just sit down and flip through the pages and “read” to herself in her own babbling language.
Here’s a cute moment I captured of Mio having some reading time with my sister. She takes such great care of Mio! 😀
Uh oh! It looks like Mio caught me spying on her reading time…
…and then she pounced, and I died from the cuteness. 😉
