A cute note from Sutton

Sutton was Mia's babysitter yesterday. Had her so worn out from playing that she slept a solid 13 hours last night! whoo hoo!

Hey Julie,
I'm getting sidetracked while writing my club talk for tonight, so I just wanted to send these pictures on to you while I'm procrastinating! haha
I'm sad I didn't have my camera with me during our 2 hour trip to the play room! We played on that little mat just for a few minutes, basically with every toy they had. She did a very good job of cleaning up all the toys she played with. Then, we played with one of the baby toys on the top of the TV area that plays soothing music...she was enthralled by that! Then...the highlight of the playroom was the bowling pins...we bowled for a LONG time and she never got tired of it!!! we set up all the bowling pins, then she took one in her hand and just threw it at the pins and they all crashed and scattered on the floor and she rolled with laughter every time (even the 56th time!!) Then, we read about 8 books...and by read I mean, we made up our own stories by looking at the pictures. Then, she found the baby bouncer thing and put her baby in it and played with that for a long time...we even took it back to the room and you have probably found already!! When we got back to the room, we played a little more with her baby and then put the baby to sleep. We colored just for a little bit on the white paper then opened the felt coloring board and colored on that for a long time. The markers that came with that toy were those color changing markers so she was super excited to use the white marker to change the color!! Then, we had a balloon fight with her Get Well balloon and Pooh Bear. She was very excited to bounce the balloons off of everything in sight!! Her dinner came and just as soon as it was walked through the door she said with a gross look on her face, "what is that smell?!" (it smelled awful!!) I said, "well! that's your dinner..." I opened it and saw that there were carrots on it (she had told me earlier that she liked carrots) so I got really excited and said "YAY!! carrots!!!" and she said, "no thanks" They should make those dinner smell a little better and maybe their patients would actually eat. haha We also played with play-dough, put on a movie, but didn't really watch it...we were too distracted by taking funny princess pictures (mine are going to be burned! hahaa) She did not stop talking the entire time which made me very happy because you can just tell she is feeling sooo much better!!! At one point she kind of just put her head down on the pillow and I asked "are you tired, Mia?" she shook her head yes, but then just popped up and waved her hands around like a scary monster and went back to playing play-dough. I told her that she could take a little nap and she asked "are you tired? do you want to take a nap? you can lie here and take a nap" So I went over to the other side of the bed and sat there with her, but all she really wanted to do was tickle me! hahaha
Long story short, the nap thing never happened!! It was too cute! I always seem to write novels when I am writing e-mails.
Hope you enjoyed it!!
