Current mood: accomplished
It's crazy how fast time flies by, a whole day has already passed me by and it literally only feels like hours!
Yesterday was a big day for us, Mia's baby brother had an ultra-sound appointment to make sure he is growing ok. I have been losing lots of weight (and am currently under my pre-pregnancy weight) due to my strict diet and the doctors were concerned. So they ordered an early ultra-sound to check up on him. Unfortunately, kids are not allowed in the ultra-sound room so we needed help with Mia. Of course her Grandpa Pizano jumped at the chance to see his little "Amazin' Mia" again and offered to watch her for us! YAY! That was a big treat for all of us, especially little Mia who is CRAZY about her "Grandpa-bug"
So my Dad got here early yesterday afternoon. Unfortunately, we are in a horrible heat wave so he was literally sizzling by the time he walked in the door. (And when I say HOT I mean 105+!) I keep the blinds closed to help keep out the heat, but I was keeping a close eye on the front yard to see when my Dad would pull up. Mia was also playing in the room with me and of course destroying everything I just cleaned up!
Once I saw the good ol' Celica, I told Mia "Look look its your Grandpa" She had been so excited about his visit since she woke up when I told her Grandpa was coming. She kept running around repeating "Grandpa Coming! Grandpa Coming!" So when the big moment arrived, she of course didn't know how to act, shy? happy? scared? We both greeted my Dad at the door and once she saw him she quickly ran about two feet away, and ran in circles about three times before she decided she wanted to hug him and be picked up! It was so cute!
They caught up a bit while I threw together a quickly lunch and got ready for my appointment. She was so happy to see her Grandpa she literally went NUTS!!! She showed off her ABC, counting and jumping skills! not to mention her ability to sing "we will we will rock yooooooooou!" haha They had lots of fun, especially "bouncey time".
I let her stay up a bit later than usual for her afternoon nap and soon that started to backfire on me. She became moody and whiney and it didn't take long before she was off to bed! haha Adrian and I left a short while later to our appointment.
While we were gone, Mia slept for about an hour and a half. Once she woke up, Grandpa got her and fed her a HUGE lunch! She was a good girl and ate all her food without a single incident (which is surprising since its always a battle to get her to eat). They played a bit more and we came home a short while later.
When I walked in, Mia was going nuts jumping on the guestbed (she LOVES to do this) and screaming! You can tell she was having a blast! We all then went into the livingroom area and I started on some dinner.
Mia kept her Grandpa on his toes the entire time, making him hold her toys, sharing her "A C's" (her little ABC magnets shes obsessed with) and playing "horsey". She even learned how to say "ready..... set.... go!!!!!" It was really cute to watch them play. The only bad thing that happened was, after I made some salsa she touched the knife I was using then rubbed her eye and got chili in her eye!! OH NO!!!! We quickly took her to the bathroom and we cleaned her up and she was fine.. phew!!
The rest of the night was spent playing some more. After dinner (Grandpa made her a quesadilla) it started to get late but Mia wasn't ready for bed just yet. She was having to much fun with Grandpa! Infact she would never let him out of her sight, she would cry with tears! everytime he went to use the restroom or went to the car to get something.
It got later so I put on her jammies and got her ready for bed. All three of us played on the guestbed a bit more then it was off to bed. She REFUSED to let me take her to bed and demanded that Grandpa do it!! So my Dad took her to bed and stayed with her until she fell asleep.
We all felt sad that the day had gone by so fast but we had lots of fun together. It was an overall GREAT day! The next morning my Dad had to leave bright and early, even before Mia woke up, so it was sad to say goodbye and see him leave. Mia just woke up a few mins ago (I can hear her chatting on the baby monitor) so I am off to go get her up. I wonder how the morning will be, I know for sure she will be looking for her "Grandpa-bug" and will be really sad when she can't find him. (after a visit, everytime, she will check every room and call to him... its so heartbreaking) Hopefully I will be able to distract her with some breakfast and her favorite.... milk!!! Wish me luck!
