Mia Cleona

Where do I even start with this child? She is so amazing, and I am not just saying that because I am her mother! (well maybe a little bit because I am her mother). This girl is going to be 3 in june. 3! How did that happen? Its been amazing so see her be a tiny new baby brought home to parents who had no idea what they were doing, and growing up into a toddler who was interested in absolutely everything, and now she resembles an actual kid.

She is pretty amazing. Here are some things about this glorious child. Mia still LOVES Spongebob Squarepants. I blame this on her dad. When she was tiny and I would go to work, Doug would just be coming home from his 12 hour night shift and would nap when she napped. To try and stay awake he would have the TV on in the background and Spongebob just happened to always be on. I think this child will forever adore Spongebob.

Minnie Mouse is now a close second. She loves everything about Minnie especially her bow. Any time she sees a bow of any sort she shouts "MINNIE MOUSE BOW!"

Mia LOVES babies. Mostly baby Georgia. But any time she sees a baby in public she exclaims "Oh! Cuuuuuuute baby!"

Mia adores animals. Any animal. Fish, dogs, goats, bugs, birds. Her friend is our doggie Burrito. But we also have a neighborhood cat "Oreo" who stops by frequently. Mia will be the first to point out an animal she sees. And she is fearless. You know those kids who get freaked out by a bug or a frog? Not Mia. She will gladly go up to any animal to say "hello".

Mia is her mothers child. Sorry kid. Besides being my twin, she acts like me. Oh boy. She says things like "shoot" and "oh mannN!" just like me. I better be careful what I say. She is stubborn and impatient. There is nothing more humbling than staring at a child who is pretty much you.

She is the most strong willed child I know. But, she is also extremely gentle, kind and the most caring child I know.

Mia is smart. She loves to learn the alphabet and numbers. She loves to sign them. She picks up sign language so easily. Sometimes she is signing something and I even have to figure it out, but she knows what she is saying.

Some of my favorite Mia-isms: "Spongebob gre grat" (spongebob squarepants" "Hi baby seeeester" "AWWWWW cuuute baby!" "Minnie Mouse bow!" "I U mom, dad" ( I love you mom and dad) "Baby Gerga" (baby Georgia) I love my Mia so much. Thanks for letting me be your mommy!
