Olivia's sentences are becoming more complex by the day. It's amazing to witness her development. We are still working on "please" and "thank you", but she's doing pretty well with "thank you." Our new morning routine, as of last week, is to plop her down in front of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse after waking her. Then I'll sit with Olivia for a bit, and eventually get her dressed... without any struggle! Thank goodness! Mornings were very very stressful until we figured out this trick!
Olivia helped kevin make chocolate chip cookies last night (premade dough), and we had a little dance party to burn off some energy. I also took Olivia for a little walk before the rain really started. When the drops began, we tried to catch some in our mouths, and of course we jumped in puddles!
This morning we were at daycare when the garbage truck was visible out the back window. The children were all so very excited and ran to the window to check it out. Olivia was the smallest of them all, on tiptoe to look out.
We are planning a trip to the snow in February and can't wait! I have to buy some boots and find our hotel for the first few nights.
Kevin has been around for the first part of the year, which is awesome. But it sounds like we won't see much of him overall this year.
