Another photo opportunity was as a new doll - a little purple fairy- she got from Ji's friend who went on a cruise in Alaska
On another day she was trying out different hats:
A rainy and cooler weekend was a good opportunity for Mia's first trip to a mall. There we met Ji's cousin Yilei and her son Ben. After lunch Mia and Ben tried their luck with a vending machine but none of them had any luck.
Mia also got a rocking horse and brushed her teeth like a real cow girl: In the saddle with the doll in one hand and the tooth brush in the other one:
We forget to get Mia some cake when she turned 21 months today but she had fun at the playground. She enjoys the slides for teh bigger kids and always has an eye on a tricycle or a push car. Actually she can even pedal a little bit.
A neighbor had told as that the National Building Museum has a special section for children. So this Sunday morning we headed into town to check it out. There really was a big area with lots of toys just for children and Mia had lots of fun. The rest of the museum we will have to check out some other time
In the afternoon we were at the waterfront in Old Town Alexandria again. We had ice cream and Mia saw the street musican again who performs for kids:
For a few days Mia really enjoys going down slides. She tries even the high ones and sometimes even goes head first. We find ourselfs a bit surprised since Mia usually is kind of cautious and shy
Mia is also enjoying the bike trailer we got a week ago. For Ji it is now a good option to go places in our neighborhood.
