"No!" "Ok!"

Olivia's two favorite words.  Yet somehow when she says "No!" in her adorable little girl voice, it's the cutest thing ever!

She says "OK!" just like her mom, pick up a pen "OK!", Put something in its place, "OK!"... any little accomplishment and it's "OK!". 

Then, the little girl goes and tells everyone what to do.  "Dad, sit there!" (by pointing and whining).  "Cheese!"

Olivia has a blast with 'pretend food' and pretending to feed everyone out of her "can" of green beans, or corn, whatever.  She's really emulating everything we do.  Tonight, she watched Daddy sweep the patio and wanted to help.  (I didn't get a pic, cuz I've been in bed with the flu the last few days :( ).  On several occasions, Olivia has walked all around the house with the dog leashes and poop bags, and has tried to put the leash on Trixie.  Too funny!  She pretend feeds the dogs as well, and still loves hanging out in their dog beds in our bedroom, and splashing in their water bowls (a favorite who-can-get-there-faster game with Mommy and Daddy).

She really enjoys playing with her large legos, and kitchen.  Today Aunt Patti babysat again and they had a blast at the park (Patti visited Sat and Sun afternoons and took Olivia to the mall for several hours - they had a BLAST while Mommy and Daddy slept to get healthy.  Olivia apparently had several admirers, one little boy kept holding open the play-car door for her!)  Thank goodness for Aunt Patti!

We can't wait for Mum-mums and Pop-Pops to visit!  We just hope the cold and flu bugs have more than departed our house beforehand.

I'm a little stressed by the new job and being sick for a week and a half has not helped the situation.  I'm sure it'll improve soon.

Ok, nighty night!  "OK!"
