Day 10 - May 7, 2009

 

Mia is getting pretty good with my camera. I think she is anxious to be the one behind the lens for a change. She is starting to get a bit tired of me with the camera in her face all the time...

Day 9 - May 6, 2009

Day 8 - May 5, 2009

When I left work tonight Mia was in the parking lot taking tentative jumps around the rain puddles. We had stops to make, my mother voice was going off in my head..."Mia don't get wet..." and then I thought "COME ON, LES! She's 5! Who cares if she is wet when we go to pick up Chinese food?"

I put my purse down on the half flooded driveway and Mia turned and looked at me with the camera in my hands. Her eyebrows raised and the start of a small smile played on her lips.

and the child in me said three words.

Go - For - It!

Day 7 - May 4, 2009

Do I really need to say anything else???

Day 6 - May 3, 2009

My girl...what more do I need to say?

Day 5 - May 2, 2009

We had the Mother's Day Tea this Saturday. I look forward to this so much and am sad that this is Mia's last year in Miss Sally's class!

Look at the beautiful project they did as gifts for the moms...adorable! They've been studying the artist Eric Carle (of the Very Hungry Caterpillar) and used his style for this piece of art.

Sally and Lori decorated the room and the children served the moms lemon cookies (Mia had about 10 I think!) and lemonade. It was a great time!

Day 4 - May 1, 2009

This precious drawing was on the sidewalk when I got home from a very long day of work yesterday. I just had to run out and get a picture of it this morning! I love that she gave me a heart...her favorite thing to draw right now!
