Growing so fast

Our dear little Myla, in all her two-ish-ness, has decided that her parents are lazy slugs.  She is constantly saying, "come on mommy" and "you comin' daddy?" or she'll try and pull us up from where ever we are to go to another room or to see another toy.  Just yesterday, I was stopped in the middle of the road waiting for Johnny to follow (don't worry, it was a residential area) and Myla says "come on mommy, let's go" and when I started moving again, she said "there you go!  yeah mommy!" and gave me a round of applause.  I guess if she knows I'm always going to be in her corner, she's going to always be in mine too.

We had a wonderful play date on Saturday with Myla's friend Sasha and her mommy.  It was fun to see two little people running around and playing together.  I know that's all Myla does all week, but I'm at work and don't get to see it, so it was neat for me.  And having an adult to talk to while Johnny was sleeping was also a very nice thing.  Then we got to go to Uncle Scott's house and play on the stairs, which is a rarity for Myla since we don't have any.  She's pretty good at those stair things.  Scary for mom and dad - don't need any tumbles down even carpeted stairs - but she's really getting the hang of it.

And for those that were curious, yes, Tiny the Fish is still swimming and getting fed daily.  One of the highlights of Myla's day is giving Tiny a shake of food and watching him eat it.  Its amazing how much joy something so simple can bring.  And we don't mind a few extra minutes of holding the whirlwind that is called Myla.
