Current mood: loved
Happy Valentines Day!!! I had such a great day with my Valentine and baby Valentine today (Adrian and Mia)! It was Mia's second Valentines Day and we had lots of fun.
We started the Valentine Day celebration yesterday (as tradition between Adrian and I that dates back YEARS and YEARS (mostly due to his work schedule back in the day) and I was given a beautiful dozen of red roses, a boquet of my favorite flowers (Star Gazers), a 1 pound box of See's Chocolates, my favorite italian pasta and the biggest heart shapped balloon I have ever seen!!!! (Of course Mia claimed it). Mia went nuts over the balloon which was literally bigger than she was! I am surprised she didn't float away!!!!! The rest of the day was spent at home enjoy each others company and hanging out relaxing.
Today we started the day early. After Mia's lunch we exchanged Cards and went out to lunch at Soup Plantation! Yum Yum!!! Mia did excellent there and ate so many new foods. I was so proud of my picky eater. I think she was in a good mood because I dressed her up Elmo style. She wore her new Elmo shirt, and Elmo socks and since she was such a good girl I gave her a little plastic Elmo doll that I bought her from Target. She had lots of fun playing with her toy after dinner.
After we were all stuffed to the max we headed back home. Since it was nice and sunny and pretty warm, we three decided to go to the park for awhile. So after parking the car in the garage, we got off and walked across the street. Mia had a blast picking up leaves, shaking trees, running around the grass and exploring the neighborhood (yes she managed to escape the park).
At one point we went to this one part of the neighborhood, where there is a culd-a-sac,
we let Mia run loose. She went completely nuts. She didn't know which way to go first or what she wanted to explore first. She ran up and down people's driveways, examined the street and ran around. Then she ran into a little boy who was playing with a squirt gun outside his home. Mia ran up to him and pointed and smiled. The boy (who was probably about 4-5) started trying to squirt her with his gun! Mia got a huge kick out of this, but the boys Mom quickly came out of the garage and tried to stop her son from doing that. Mia just stared at the lady and refused to talk even when she was talking to her. Eventually she lost intrested and walked away and became more interested in a rock she found in the street. So after playing a bit we all walked home together and rested the rest of the day watching Movies and TV shows.
Right before Bedtime Mia, for some unknown reason, became wound up BIG TIME! Adrian and I had never seen her so hyper before. She was literally bouncing off the couch. Adrian was trying to put her jammies on while I was laying down (I had a headache) and she kept climbing on me like I was a mountain and running away from Adrian. At one point I was calling her the flying monkey because she would literally bounce off the couch with her arms and legs stretch out and land on Adrian while screaming and laughing! It was the funniest thing we ever saw!!! We got a kick out of watching her go nuts... until the unavoidable happened... she hit her head on the back of our couch (the wooden part) she blew up in tears so fun time was over. Oh well.. it was fun while it lasted. She soon shock it off and went nuts again but was ailttle more careful. Then it was time for bed so we said our goodnights and Daddy put her to bed.
I had such a great day! One of the best Valentines Day ever. Now I am off to spend some time with my Big Valentine before I go to bed! Night Night!!
