Mikayla is soooo adorable, and every time I take her somewhere I am reminded of it. As a teacher, I was expected to be at the PTO meeting tonight. Well, as a single mom I don't exactly have someone who could just stay home and watch Mikayla. The only option was to take her, so I did. I dressed her in some of her cute new Fall/Winter clothes and took a bag of puzzles and books for her to entertain herself with. Of course I also took a snack too (which she was trying to feed others). She didn't just entertain herself. She entertained everyone at our table, and I'm sure most of the other people heard her. She was naming all the things in the books and even making animal sounds. It didn't help that the School Counselor was sitting next to me getting her to make some of the sounds that she thought were cute and then laughing at her! For some reason she really enjoyed hearing Mikayla do the sound for the sheep. Laughter just eggs Mikayla on. Other teachers were holding their arms out to Mikayla and she even let a couple of them hold her (not exactly typical of her). Mikayla didn't just sit at the table- she was sitting ON the table. People were looking at me and whispering "she's adorable!" All I could do was smile and say "thank you." I guess I enjoyed showing her off, but that shouldn't surprise anyone!
When we got home Mikayla cried when I took her shoes off. I put her PJ pants on, but she refused to let me take her shirt off (she had already had a bath when we got home from Daycare and had clean clothes on). So, you'll see in this picture of her sleeping that her clothes don't match. She also insisted I put her shoes back on. So, she fell asleep in non-matching PJ's and had on a pair of shoes! I could not resist taking the picture.
