Shelby:  Mia, what are you doing?

Mia:  Just working on a masterpiece.

a few minutes later.  I had not heard their conversation.

Jenna:  Mia, what are you doing in there?

Mia:  I'm working on a masterpiece.

Minutes later she had completed a picture in the style of French neo-impressionist Georges Pierre Seurat of some flowers in a field which she then proceeded to write a story to go along with the picture.  Our scanner isn't working, but I am going to have Shelby scan the completed "masterpiece" in at work and get it on the blog as soon as possible.  

===================================================================


Mia:  Hmm...Which fairy book do we have here?  Friday the fun day fairy?  Why is Friday so fun?

Mom:  Friday?

Mia:  What?

Mom:  Friday?  Why is Friday so fun?

Mia:  What are you saying?  What is 'fridee'?

Mom:  Oh, 'fridaay'.  

Mia:  Oh yeah, Texas people say 'friidee'  So, I guess you say 'tadee is friidee'  or what about 'what dee is it tadee?'  

I guess we really are raising a little New Englander.

I loved the short story as well. I wish you had been keeping this blog long enough so that you could have recorded this: When Mia was about 2-3, she used to come to my house a lot and spend the weekend. I would get up in the morning and weigh myself. She would mimick my every movement - therefore, get on the scales. And when she got on the scales, she would look down at the scales (and her feet on them) and say, "Let's see - how BIG are my feet? Hmmm they're 2, Gaga. Is that big?" :)
