Simultaneously the slowest two years and the fastest two years. We now have a real proper human under our roof with an opinion (no clothes is a strong one), a full complement of speech, and a grand sense of humor. And what a big sister! With sisterhood has come a lot of 1:1 parenting, which means we’ve been making a lot of trips to the pool followed by coffee shop dates. Sometimes we even let Mommy meet us.

Mia has really started to enjoy time with friends, doing things “all by self!,” gets a kick out of running laps around the house followed by checking her heart rate, helps me in the garden, and I feel good about all of these things.

We’ll probably move to bi-annual posts at this point.

Happy birthday, Mia! And sorry I got COVID and had to cancel your party. 😢
