Millie says....

Yesterday morning I was getting clothes for Millie to wear that day and she came into her room where I was and said, "I love you. I love you Mommy." My heart just melted. I said thank you to her and she smiled her shy smile and tilted her head. So sweet.

Millie is sneaky

We went to the grocery store yesterday and when we got home, Debbie (Mawt Maw) was helping me unload everything and cleaning out the fridge at the same time. I had given Millie some Cheerios and I thought she was in the dining room eating them. So I peeked in to check on her and noticed she was eating something other than her Cheerios. She was chowing down on a cup of rice pudding.
Apparently when Debbie had the fridge door open, Millie helped herself to the pudding, got a spoon out of the drawer, took it to the dining room, opened it up and fed herself.
Too funny!

Do you know your ABCs?

Millie does. Well, she can pretty much sing the whole song, although sometimes she gets a little sidetracked. We are still working on identifying the letters by looking at books but I just started teaching her the song last week.

Putt-Putt

A couple of weekends ago, we took Millie to the Griffin City Park on a Sunday afternoon for a game of putt-putt. Of course, we soon realized that Millie is not quite ready for putt-putt just yet, but she seemed to have a good time.

Two Biggies

Last night, before Millie took her bath, she undressed herself and took off her diaper. She then said, "I want to poop in the potty." Fine with me. So she climbed up there and sat there for awhile. Then she had "that look" in her eyes and yes, she did it! I was so proud of her! I think we are on our way because she has been using the potty a lot more lately.

And then before she went to bed last night, I was rocking her and I asked her, "Millie, would you like to go to the potty before you go to bed?" And she replied, "No thank you." Whoa, was that for real?

Later on, checking to make sure that wasn't a fluke, I asked again, a little while later. And again she said, "No thank you."

God Bless....

At every meal, Millie says the blessing. Last night when she said it, she started looking around the table and said, "Bless Mommy's food, Daddy's food, Mawt Maw's food, Mommy's sweet tea, Daddy's sweet tea, Mawt Maw's sweet tea," and then Amen. It was so funny. But she was definitely sincere.
