Current mood: full
We don't follow football as close as we used to when we had TV, but today was special. The San Diego Chargers were in the playoffs and Mia had to break in her new Charger Cheerleading Uniform!
So I busted out her Cheerleader uniform and dressed her up. The last time I had her in the uniform (6 months ago) the skirt came all the way down to the middle of her shins... now it fits perfectly!!! She really looked like a little cheerleader just like her Mama used to be!
She played with my old HS Cheerleading Pom Poms which happened to also be Charger colors (blue and gold) and ran around the house having fun. We watched the Charger game for a bit (thanks for a pirated internet stream) until halftime then we went off to BestBuy. (Daddy had to return something) We wanted to go show her off.
She went nuts in BestBuy running through all the isles full blast and running away from us whenever we tried to catch her. Eventually she came across two yellow and blue balloons. We let her play with them for a bit while we checked out their cameras... BAD IDEA!!!! Once we left the camera section she got all upset. The balloons were tied to the display so we couldn't take them with us. She demanded Daddy put her down and once he did, she ran as fast as she could around the corner and back to the area with the balloons!! Then she started to whine. We didn't pick up on it at first that she wanted the balloons so when Adrian picked her back up she threw a fit. He put her back down and sure enough she ran around the corner again back to the balloons. Thats when we realized what she wanted... so Daddy broke the string off the display and gave her the balloons. Her eyes lit up and she was so happy.
She carried those balloons all around the store. After getting a few "oohs and ahhhs" on how cute she looked in her uniform we paid for our stuff and headed off to dinner at Red Robin next door.
It started to rain so we had to rush in. Right away we were greated by the waitress who was dressed in a Charger jersey. She immediatly complimented Mia on how cute she looked and gave us a table. That waitress so was nice to us and even brought Mia an extra juice even though we just ordered her water.
The game was playing in the restaurant so we still got to watch the game. Unfortunately the Chargers ended up losing. Ah well..... Mia didn't mind though she was happy with her balloons from BestBuy that she refused to let go even as she ate. Once our meals were done we went back home. On the way back to the car it started raining harder so I had to hold Mia's balloons. She got MAD!!! and started screaming. I quickly had to give them back to her once she was buckled up in the car.
Once we got home she ran all around the houes with her balloons and refused to let them go. Infact we have been home over an hour and she is still holding on to them while she is laying on the couch.
Its too bad that the Chargers couldn't win but it was still fun to root them on for the day. Gooooo! Cheerleader Mia!!!!
