Stay at home day

Today Olivia and I stayed at home.  We didn't have any plans and I really didn't feel like going anywhere.  So we stayed home.  We did a little bit of work around the house but it still looks like a tornado of toys.  We had lunch, fed the birds some old bread and snacks, and then went swimming.  Then Olivia rested and I worked on some school stuff...which is no where near done...but just trying to get organized for the new year and redo some stuff from last year.  After dinner we watered the flowers and played for a bit outside but the mosquitoes were pretty bad even with spray on so we came in and played.  But a good stay at home day!

Fun at the dentist

Olivia had her 6 month check up at the dentist today.  We need to keep brushing and flossing! But they said her teeth look good. Olivia did a great job during the cleaning especially with the crunchy toothpaste (as she called it).  She picked out her yellow balloon on the way out and was so excited.  I am glad she was good during her cleaning!

I was about to lose my mind with her encopresis today.   I know she cannot help it and we are trying to make it easier for her to go....but it seemed like every 20 minutes she would poop a little in her pants...so frustrating but at the same time she can't help it.  But finally tonight she told me she needed to go...and she went on the potty! So for all the frustration of earlier today she made up for it by going on the potty! Wahoo! Big accomplishment for the past 2 weeks! Now we need to keep it up.  She looked at me and said, "Now we don't have to go to the tummy doctor!" Unfortunately we do!

1st soccer game

Olivia had her first soccer game tonight! It was rather comical at times.  She is definitely NOT aggressive! At one point she didn't want to play anymore.  She didn't like she wasn't getting a turn...oh well...a good life lesson! But in the end they learned some sportsmanship and sharing! Next week is our last session....hopefully the game will go better!

Go Red Team!

Busy Weekend

We had a busy weekend.  Saturday we did lots of outside work and then had our neighbors over for a swim and dinner.  It was warm and the pool felt nice! Olivia napped for a bit and then woke up to see everyone and eat dinner!

Here we are resolving the worlds' problems!

Sunday we did some more housework and then went swimming at our neighbor Mr. Shannon's house.  There were lots of kids in the pool which kind of scared Olivia but she was fine.  Then we came home and ate dinner and watched soccer!
