Mia and her New Spinning Machine

Yesterday I eyed an exersaucer at Costco. I swore on the day that we tossed our last excersaucer in the trash, with just about every toy ripped off of the tray table, our days of lugging this piece of baby equipment around were over. But then I gazed at Mia snuggled in her car seat. What fun she would have bouncing around in this fine spinning machine. In the cart the exersaucer went.
Ezra stumbled out of his bedroom this morning. "Mom! Let's build it!" He pulled me into the family room with tools in hand. We sat in the middle of the rug, pulling plastic bags full of tiny parts out of the box. Each screw driver or bolt he handed me was accompanied with a "Can we fix it? Yes we can!" As soon as the contraption was ready for use, we slipped Mia in her new seat, and she has been happy ever since.

Mia is such a beautiful baby! I am sure Ezra is just as grateful as Mia to have this new machine, and more hands on time with mom. We had such a good time over Thanksgiving, and we miss everyone already.

Love,
Jenny

What a lovely picture of Mia! Last exersaucer, last binky, last diaper--it will happen so fast. I am down to last high school photographs in the last child's bedroom.... We love you and admire what a great mother you are. Mom
