 Mya started her new daycare last week and she was a trooper!! I always expect the worst, but hope for the best. She is EXTREMELY shy, so for the first day, I envisioned that she'd be crying for at least 30 minutes after we left and standing alone in the corner for most of the day, but thankfully, they sent a message an hour after we dropped her off and she was already playing with a puzzle.. which at least meant she was distracted and happy enough to play with a toy, although, I could tell her eyes were a bit swollen from crying T_T When we picked her up after the first day, she was happy and super talkative!

Of course she had screentime for a majority of the time, but she didn't get too restless or grumpy from not being able to move. She did puke for the first time ever for whatever reason and we didn't get to pull over for a good 10m to f...

yesterday, i told mya, "I love you!" and she replied, "I love you too!" then she said, HUG!" later that day carlo told her she loved her, and she said, "I love you first!" I think she hears us saying "I love you most" and she was mirroring the same thing :3
