More Fun with Mika and Tono

Mikaela is learning her colors at the babysitter's house.  The first week - blue, last week - green, this week - yellow.  At times she can pick out the color if given a choice of two and you say, "Which is *color*?"  However, if you ask, "What color is this?", her answer will almost always be "pink."

Recognizing Letters

*This is a total "Look how smart my baby is" post.  You've been warned!*

She did A-G before we started filming.  She doesn't know all of the letters, but she knows the majority.  Letters are her new favorite thing to talk/read about.  Thanks for enduring my bragging!

Cowboys Stadium Tour


Mike and I were able to get discounted tickets to take a self-guided Cowboys Stadium tour so we decided to go today.  A nice surprise for us was that we were upgraded to a VIP tour which was a neat experience.  Before the tour started we were able to go out into the stands and watch the Cowboys practice.

The Turf Room - where they house the college regulation turf  including A&M and Arkansas endzones for their annual games.  The turf is rolled up like carpet in 5 yard increments and put together with (very strong) velcro on the field.

We had a great time.  It was an amazing facility.  If only we could afford to attend a game... (or at least willing to pay those prices...)
