Learning to Smile...

I've been trying to teach Mia to smile for the camera.... it looks like we have a little more work to do :)

When she's not making faces, Mia is singing. She loves to sing and often singing is the best way to boost her spirits. In the car the other day she was fussing and so I started to sing to try to distract her... but Mia did not like that I was trying to make her happy. I'd sing and she'd say, "No! No!" while shaking her head. So I stopped and then from the back seat I hear a quiet, "more...more" so I start singing again. Then she remembers she's supposed to be mad and says, "no!" So I stop, but she can't help herself and sure enough asks for more singing. We sang the whole way home :) She can't deny that singing makes her happy no matter what mood she's in and no matter how much she doesn't want it to make her happy sometimes...haha. I love that little girl!
