She had to change bck to Capri pants and T-Shirt though when we headed to the playground. Here she impressed papa with her climbing skils:
The night before we saw our old neighbor Megan and her cat Tigget again for a house warming party. Mia was really happy to see Tigget again. The two of them used to play a lot when they lived just two doors down the hall.
Of course Mia has always Mr Mimi to play with:
We missed buying a cake for Mia when she turned two and a half yesterday but she had a nice evening at the pool. There were a lot of big changes in the last six months. For a few weeks now she doesn't wear any diapers during the day and she is reminding us all the time that she is a big gril now. So when we talk about here and use the word "baby" there will be a complaint from her. She also plays more with other children - mostly with Jakob and Erika. So today their mother could leave Jack at our place for a play date when she had to take Erika to her new school.
She even went to the closet to get the extra vacuum cleaner for the sofa
On the first day of this pool season Mia was ready for a jump in the pool. She even checked it out yesterday to make sure everything was ready. So even though it was a bit windy this afternoon we had to go for a little swim. The water was warmer than expected and she had lots of fun.
After her swim she spend some time with Mr Mimi
..and then headed out for a ride with her tricycle.
Earlier that day we had a birthday lunch with Vi which also included a birthday cake - which for Mia is the most important part of teh party. She didn't want to wear her diapers for that trip to the restuarant since she is a "big girl". She has made a lot of progress with her potty training recently and only wears diapers when she sleeps now.
Mia always showed great interest in shoes and checked out mama's from the stroller when she was only a few months old. Last weekend we went shoe shopping she tried out quite a few herself. So when a neighbor gave her some shoes her daughter used to wear Mia checked them out of course.
After that papa and mama had to try them as well and Mia took a picture
Mia enjoyed the sausage and was clapping her hands to the Volksmusik
Mia could even check out the famous Neuschwanstein castle
At the end we could relax at the ambassador's residence and try some chocolates
Mia also liked Bill's hat and sun glasses
She also liked the street music on Jackson square
Jackson square was also the starting point for the tours with horse carriages.
Since Mia liked the carriages so much we also took her on a tour.
