Raking and Stick with Routine

We started teaching Olivia early to help with chores.  She already helps unload the dishwasher, put laundry in the dryer, and clean up her toys.  Today we taught Olivia to help rake the grass.  Well we tried anyways.  She definitely was watching what I was doing and was trying.  Maybe next year she will be ready.

It rained off and on today but we did get outside and played and after her nap she was a hot mess so she went in the swing for a bit.  Every time she saw Brendon she would get all upset...not sure what was going on about that.

Olivia ate a pretty good dinner- mostly all her veggies and a few pieces of meat.  Then of course she had room for some ice cream! We played after dinner and then put clothes away which she loves to play with the clothes in the closet.  She even says clothes when I open the closet.

We made the mistake of letting her stay up a little bit later to watch the first quarter of the Georgia football game...then we had an hour of trying to get her to sleep.  Lots of crying and not wanting to go to bed.  We should know by now to just stick to the routine and put her to bed on time.  It is not worth the headache of trying to get her down just so we could have some extra fun with her.  Now we know...again...stick with the routine!!
