Current mood: happy
Today was another fun filled day with the family. First we went out to eat at our favorite Mexican restaurant (Rosa's Cafe). We haven't eaten there since Mia was born so it was a nice treat for us! Mia did good, she even ate some beans and rice.. which is rare since she usually doesn't like take out food. She behaved really well and it was a nice meal.
After that we decided to go to Target. We wanted to walk off our meal a bit and just check out their Halloween stuff and maybe find a new Elmo for Mia. We shopped a bit then went to the Halloween section. We found her the cutest little pumpkin flashlight type thing that when you push the button it spins around and shines a bunch of lights. Adrian showed her how to push the button to make it spin with lights and thats all she would do. She LOVED it and wouldn't put it down for anything. We looked at all the new decorations and costumes. We couldn't resist but scare her alittle bit with some spooky things, like the candy dish that has a hand on it that grabs you when you move towards that. She kept jumping at that. Then we went over to the toy section. We found some Seasme Street puppets (like Cookie Monster) but she was only interested in Elmo. Then I found this little plush fury Elmo and she fell in love with it. She threw her pumpkin light on the ground and refused to touch it again and just held her Elmo tight. When I tried to take it from she just blew up so I quickly gave it back. I knew right then we were going to have to buy it! haha She never did let go of that Elmo. Not even on the ride home and carried it around the house refusing to let it go. Even when I gave her, her milk sippe at home to she found any way she could to juggle both the Elmo and the Milk without putting one or the other down. So yes, Mia has a new furry friend.
Another thing we did today... well it was more Daddy's idea ( I was till unsure about it) was to introduce PopRocks to Mia. We don't normally eat candy or have it in the house but we came across these and just had to buy them. We weren't sure how she would react to them, but surprisenly she loved them!! She would keep her mouth open and listen to them pop and crackle and then ask Daddy for more! I got it on video I will have to upload that soon.
Overall the day was great, I am really tired and ready for bed. =)
