Mia Makes Me Laugh

I really don't think anyone makes me laugh as much as Mia.  This girl cracks me up without even trying.  Here are two quick stories from this morning.

As we're driving Lily to school, Mia suddenly says "Where did that chiming noise come from?"  I told her it was probably the song on the radio because it has some soft chimes in it; I then turned the radio up so she could hear it better.  She listened and then said "No, that's not what it sounds like.  It must be the noises coming from my head again."  Apparently, she truly does have her own drum beat going!

As we were driving back home after dropping Lily off, Mia asked if I knew what she wanted to be when she grows up.  I ran through the list of occupations she had mentioned recently...astronaut, missionary, pediatrician, mommy, superhero...to which she replied "no" to each one.  Finally I gave up and asked what it was and she replied "A builder!  I want to build big buildings and little buildings and homes!"  Just when I started to agree to that, she said "Wait, no!  I don't mean a builder.  I mean a cowgirl.  I want to be a real cowgirl!  Mommy, do we know any real cowgirls?"

I absolutely love this girl!

Too cute! Sounds like she needs a trip to Texas! You can tell Mia that I met a real cowgirl the other day. She rides in the rodeo and does the barrel races. But most days, she is in charge of taking care of the horses. We have a really cute book about a city boy who wants to be a cowboy, it's called Cowboy Andy (obviously we love it). It's really cute....he wears shorts and tennis shoes the first day but by the end, he wins the rodeo!
