Princess Mia

Today is Mia’s birthday, she turned two. So tonight she will get something special and extra treats for all to celebrate her birthday. Betty Boop and Macky are happy that they don’t have to dress for the occasion.

Fleece

Macky’s just loves to be in one of his fleece bags or under the fleece blankets. I don’t know which one he is in or under at times. But Mia always seems to know just where he is; she likes to annoy him sometimes when he’s in the bag….and he does get annoyed. The more he gets annoyed with her the happier she gets….it is something to see.

Swim Lessons

With all the flooding we hear about in some areas I thought I would get the little ones a life jacket and see how they do with it. It was very interesting to say the least. I finally found one that was small enough to fit the girls. I first tested it on Betty Boop who is a good swimmer but has a short endurance. Boops may be only 2.4 lbs. but boy is she strong, she was a real Houdini and escaped the lifejacket while swimming, she is so amazing. Macky refused to wear it, thought there was no need for him to try it since he is my personal lifeguard already. As for my little Mia she does not like the pool especially since she fell in it, but was a good sport and gave it one try…..and once was enough for her.

Nap Time

Mia has a schedule she likes to follow which pertains to sleeping. After she gets up in the morning and we have playtime for a while she is ready for her morning nap. The other day I took her shopping with me which interfered with her nap time. I was disappointed that I didn’t have my camera with me for the shot. I placed my purse in the shopping cart where kids would sit and placed Mia on it, and then I strapped her in putting the straps through her harness so she couldn’t jump out but could still move around. She loved all the attention she was getting from everyone. I continued my shopping but Mia wasn’t interested in shopping, we weren’t in the treat aisle. Anyway as I looked down at her she had made herself comfortable and was fast asleep in the cart she wasn’t going to let anything keep her from her morning nap. It wasn’t the comfort of home so when we returned she quickly got into her sleeping position and took a real good nap.

Bored

I think Mia is still missing the girls. I walked into the family room and caught her up on the chair just staring out the window. I stood watching her for a bit and she wasn’t even aware I was in the room. Makes one wonder just what was going through her mind. I bet she was thinking how nice it would be if the girls were still here to play with her.

Betty Boops Bed

I had this bed custom made to match our bed a few years ago for Betty Boop. She does use it, but it seems to be of interest to Macky lately. He has slowly started to encroach a lot of her territory. However Betty Boop loves to go where ever there is some sun, so he never goes in any of those locations. Neither he nor Mia are fond of the sun.

So Good

Every morning the little ones get a baby carrot, there's no way one can forget to give to them because Betty Boop will bark at you until she gets it. They are very particular as to what brand they will eat, and more unusual is that if I don't have any baby carrots in the house they will not eat a regular carrot no matter what I do to it or how I cut it. Mia is always looking to see if the others have left any pieces or if she can steal and extra one. They love them so much that I expect to see them hopping any day now.
