Good Morning! I just HAD to write about the little adventure Mia and Dada had yesterday in Orange County. I couldn't write yesterday because it was such a crazy day and Mia came home more rambuncious that ever... so here I am at 7am right after feeding Alex. The only little spot of free time I have.
Anyway, Adrian is building a computer for his cousin's job so he had to pick up some parts in Orange County. I guess there was a store out there selling a vital part for $100 cheaper than anywhere else. So he decided to take Mia with him. THANK GOONESS because she was a handful in the morning. She was still pretty tried from the day before (we visited her cousins and Nina/Nino in Oxnard). So I had no problem letting her go, infact I got her ready really early and really fast to help get her out of the house quicker! haha
All that was left were her shoes and she wanted NO part in wearing socks. I tried working with her left and right and nothing worked. I even threatened a Pow Pow but she didn't care. She didn't like the "strings" that were in the socks. I guess there were a few strings inside that were from the design outside. She cried and cried and I finally just let her take them off and would have Adrian put them back on when they go to the store. I figured the excitement of the store and being out would overshadow her "string" obsession... (as you will later read.. it didn't work)
He told me that when they left she slept most of the way in the car. Once they finally made it to the store he got her off and put her shoes and socks on. Of course she remembered about the strings and cried about them again. She REFUSED to walk and wanted to be held the whole time! Poor Adrian had to carry her around the store with him.. and for anyone who knows Mia knows shes not feather! Whenever he put her down she would only last 30 seconds... walk all funny complaining about her "strings" in her socks and demand to be picked up. Sigh...
After they bought what they needed Adrian brought out her scooter. He figured she could get some riding in. So she was happy about that and scooted around near the store. Once she was scooting along she forgot all about the strings in her feet. Infact when she was done and back in the car she didn't even want to take off her shoes!!!
On the ride back towards home they decided to stop by a Mexican Restaurant called "Miguels". They serve really good food there. So Mia and Adrian shared a dinner together. She must have been starving because she ate a TON which is really rare for Mia. She ate her quesadilla, some chips, a tiny bit of chicken and steak, another tortilla and some other stuff. She even had her very first Horchata and liked it! The waitress fell in love with her and when she came by to check on them Mia was almost done with her quesadilla. Mia said "Mmm... like it!" and the waitress asked Adrian "Did she just say Gracias?" Adrian said "No she said she liked it" then all of a sudden Mia looks up and says "Gracias!" haha too cute!
After dinner they got back in the car and headed home. Mia decided to sing her favorite Lincoln Park song in the car "Shadow of the Day" on the top of her lungs, and made Adrian repeat the song over and over again.. of course.
Once they got home Mia was excited to tell me all about her day but was really wound up! I think it was because of the horchata or something because she was soon out of control. She was like that all the way till bedtime when she finally crashed.
Overall the day was fun for them. I got alot of little projects done that I wanted to get done here at home and spent some quality time with Alex so it was a nice day for me too. I can't wait to see what their next adventure will be.
