Walk in the Woods with Daddy

Today I ate 2 pieces of toast again for breakfast! Maybe I just like mommy's toast.  We did lots of playing today and daddy took me outside twice.  Once after lunch and once after my nap.  After my nap we went for a walk in the woods.  I loved it.  I said, "Walk in the leaves," "Look for deer" "Big rocks" I had such a fun time.  I got a little nervous when we got near the creek.  Daddy took me on the bridge and we sat down.  Then I felt better.  We looked at the water and the big rocks.  I walked all by myself in the woods and didn't want to hold daddy's hand.  I also wore my pink fishing hat because daddy had a hat on! We had so much fun!!

Here is a movie of our adventure!

So over being sick!

This house is over being sick! We really need to just set off a Lysol bomb this weekend.  Brendon ended up staying home again today because he did not feel better yesterday at work.  He said he coughed most of the night...I didn't hear him I was sleeping.  I felt ok today...still a little stuffed and coughing.  I took one of those magical cough pearls while at school and probably will take one before bed.  Olivia is doing much better...we love her a lot and love her so much that we caught her germs!

I took Olivia to the Valentine Dance at school tonight.  We did my duty first which was to watch the bathroom for a 1/2 hour.  I wasn't sure how she would be at the dance with it being loud and lots of people.  She was a little scared at first but then she said dance and she did.  I so wished I had the camera tonight because she was dancing all over the place.  It was so cute.  I thought she was  ready to go but when we got by the door she said she wanted to dance more so I let her dance more.  She loved the Valentine dance! I asked her if she had fun at the dance and she said, "YES!" I guess we need to have more dance parties!!

Day with Mommy

Today I had a whole day with mommy!  I didn't go to Susie's house today because she was sick =( so mommy had to stay home today! Daddy went back to work today but he is still not feeling 100%.  I slept until 8:00 a.m.  Mommy was so thankful for that.   Mommy wasn't feeling the greatest either so having today off was kind of a good thing.  I ate breakfast really good- I ate 2, yes TWO pieces of toast this morning! I told mommy, "More toast!" She made it and I ate it.  Then we did something fun...we did some painting.  I did really good...it tickled a little bit though.  I hope we paint again some day.  We watched Super Why and did the dishwasher.  Then I took a nap since we had Kindermusik tonight, mommy said I had to take a morning nap so I wouldn't be so cranky.  I ate some lunch, not a ton but some.  Then it started raining and we had to go to the store.  At first I didn't want to put on my raincoat but then I finally did.  I am trying really hard to put my own shoes on.  Today I thought I had it but they were on the wrong feet mommy said. I was a good girl at the store and followed mommy around. Then we came home and had a snack before Kindermusik.  I was so happy to go back tonight, I couldn't wait to see Ms. Dana and Jacob! I was a good girl and l tried to do all of the things in class.  Mommy told me she felt like cereal for dinner so that is what we had...I had Cheerios and she had something that she said I couldn't eat.  I ate a big bowl of Cheerios and I was fine with that for dinner!

Before bed tonight Mommy told me she loved me and I told her, "I love you too!" Mommy said I was such a sweet girl!

Daddy Sick Day

I got daddy sick.  He didn't feel well...throat hurt, runny nose and cough.  Sorry daddy!! You still did a good job taking care of me and the soup at lunch was really good.  Mommy took me outside this afternoon since it was 65 degrees! We took a walk, played with my lawnmower, sat on my bike, and played with bubbles.  I loved the bubbles the best.  I even blew one bubble but then I started putting the bubble blower near my mouth and not blowing the bubbles.  Mommy also was running with the bubbles which was really fun.  We had a good day even though daddy is sick and mommy is coughing and has a runny nose too!

XOXO

I got all my important things- Lamby, a snack, books, a ball and a bucket!

Daddy's Helper

I am such a good helper with my daddy.  Today while mommy worked I helped daddy drain the hot water tank.  I was a good helper and held the hose.  I was a good eater for daddy today but not for mommy- for dinner I wanted peas, carrots, and Cheerios and milk.  I have a new favorite book- Dogs, Dogs.  I have mommy read it A LOT.  I even like to read it myself too.  I am feeling better but I still have a little cough and some yucky boogers today!

XOXO

Being silly and wearing glasses like my mommy!

Our Little Firefighter

I apologize up front that I could not get a picture of Olivia facing forward! But I did get some with the fireman hat on today. 

Olivia got out of the house today.  Her nose is still a little runny but much better.  Her cough still sounds yucky but is less frequent.  I think we are on the mend. We went to Gymboree today and I think she needed it. Staying home is fun but I think getting out made her feel better too.  She did a great job walking to Gymboree from the car.  She did better at class and I think over time she will remember the new sequence of class.  She did wear the firefighter hat today for awhile and had fun!

Three other things before I speak to soon or jinx it.  She has been doing much better with sitting in her "big girl chair" which we call it and eating.  She has also gone down to bed the past few nights on her own! YAY! Maybe we are out of that phase.  After she was dressed and we were getting ready to go I asked her to pick out her hair bow.  I asked her the color of her shirt and asked her what color hair bow she should wear and she said, "Blue!" YAY! Color coordination! That's my girl!

Go Raisins! Superbowl 2013

This year was so much fun with Olivia and the Superbowl.  She slept until about 7:30 and then ate a little breakfast and her snack later.  Brendon made a Superbowl lunch for us- hot dogs (he had a chilly dog), peas and carrots, and mac and cheese.  Olivia ate a little bit- still wanting carrots though! Then she ate some of my apple and some animal crackers.  She took a pretty good nap but then woke up screaming.  She has learned how to unzip zippers...she must have unzipped her sleepy sack a bit and then her leg got stuck so she woke up screaming.  But her leg is fine...it is a little red though.  She ate a snack and then we started prepping for the big game.  We taught her to say Superbowl and Go Ravens which turned out to be Go Raisins! Olivia ate before us and did a good job eating and sitting in her chair.  She really liked the football game and was giving some comments about the game- run fast, go, football running.  She even liked some of the commercials and we had to teach her the word commercial because she would ask where did the football game go! We let her stay up a bit later for this special event but is now tucked into bed! We loved watching the game in our jammies and as a family!

Dinner...purple shirt and Bills bib.

Game time!
