Having Fun with Mema and Pepa

We have had a busy few days since Mema and Pepa arrived!

Wednesday we had Susan's day care party at Everland! Then we waited for Mema and Pepa to arrive!

 

Thursday: Mema and Pepa babysat while we worked and then we played outside and hung around the house! Olivia and Mema made some cookies too!

  

Friday:  Mema and Pepa babysat again while we worked.  Then I came home and did a marathon grocery shop.  Then we went to Emily's house for game night!

All the kids watching a Christmas sing along movie!

Today (Saturday): We got up early and went to Atlanta to the Center for Puppetry Arts to see Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer.  It was so cute and the kids loved it.  We couldn't take any pictures there =( .  Then we went for lunch at The Varsity! Such a fun day!

Enjoying the yummy Frosted Orange

Secrets

No secret or surprise is safe in this house anymore! Don't tell or show anything to Olivia that you want to be a secret (for example Christmas presents)!! So far last night she told me that her and daddy got me new running shoes and deodorant (They went to Fleet Feet).  Then today when I got home today she told me that they made a snowman at Gymboree and bought some popcorn.  She then told me that it was, "Shhhh...a secret!" We tried to explain to her that if something is a secret you don't tell other people!

I know later we will have another conversation about secrets and when to tell them (the whole stranger danger conversation).

Olivia CAN'T!!!!!!!!!!!

2nd visit to the dentist

Olivia had her 2nd visit to the dentist.  We talked about it a few times this weekend and she seemed to remember from last time.  She said they would shine a light in her mouth. squirt water in all of our mouths, and seemed pretty happy about it.  Brendon said they gave her the option of sitting in the chair or his lap but she said she wanted to sit in the chair like a big girl.  Brendon said she did great.  She listened and followed directions and did a great job!!  My only concern was her 2 year molars...every time I think they are coming in they don't.  I don't even bother to get my hopes up about them anymore.  But the dentist said she thought she saw some swelling on the top...but I am not holding my breath.  She said not to really worry unless they don't come in by her 4th birthday. Olivia was very excited to come home and use her new toothbrush too and share her story with me about her visit to the dentist and her pink balloon!

All ready to get her teeth cleaned!

Breakfast with Santa at Church

Today we went to church and had breakfast with Santa after.  We bribed Olivia to sit on Santa's lap and then she would get a candy cane...it worked and she was so excited that Santa liked Lamby.  Didn't really get a smile...but she sat on his lap! We had a good breakfast and then came home for coffee.  Then Olivia had poopy pants the rest of the day....gross! She was acting fine and didn't say her tummy hurt at all...so I think it was the dose of Miralax catching up with her.  Sorry...TMI....hoping and praying for not a poopy pants night....she had some banana and toast for dinner so that should help.
