Monday Morning Mia--Tuesday

Sunday night, Mia woke up around 4am. She wasn't feeling all that well and pretty much just wanted a little extra snuggle time before morning. I picked her up out of her crib and brought her into the kitchen to get some milk. While we were at the fridge, Walter begged to go outside, so I opened the door to let him out. It's at least ten degrees cooler outside and poor Walter just wanted to lay on the cool patio.

Mia and I went over to the couch to drink the milk. Since she's not feeling well she let me snuggle in just a little closer. "Mama?" she asked.
"Yes, Mia?"
"Sy do."

You might not recognize these words. Our southern readers might think Mia wanted to do si do her partner round and round. Others might think she's seen a few too many Norman Bates films for her tender seventeen months.

But I knew exactly what she meant. She was saying, "Outside dog." It was her very first sentence.
