Olivia decided a couple weeks ago when we were home sick that she wanted to wear her Anna & Elsa (Disney's Frozen haeroines) underpants. I explained that she would have to go pee pee and poo poo in the potty every time, and she was good with it. Ever since that day, which was the week prior to the super bowl, she has been wearing big girl underpants with very few accidents!!! We are so proud of her!
Two weekends ago, we went to Tahoe to play in the snow. Olivia and Kevin made their first snow angel! The snow itself wasn't great, but we were able to find an untouched field and could stomp around and leave tracks. It was about 60 degrees and Kevin didn't wear any of the brand new snow gear he'd purchased.
For two nights we stayed at the Tahoe Glen Cove hotel in North Tahoe, right across from the lake. The room had a little gas fireplace and a kitchenette. Olivia was scared of the fire and whenever she had to go potty, we would have to stand in front of the fire and screen it from her. This would allow Olivia to pass by the fire. So whenever she had to get by, she would ask, "Mommy, pass the fire?" Indicating she wanted to pass by. Too cute. Olivia slept with us the first night and the second night was in the pull out bed (though I joined her there around 3 am since she awoke scared). Saturday night we turned in pretty early and just hung out in the room from about 6 pm onward. Of course we had a healthy dinner of cheese, crackers, salami and champagne (had a late lunch). Olivia kept up with using the restroom throughout the trip, and we had her go in her mini potty in the back of the car when we were out and about.
The second two nights, we stayed with Kate, Eaton, Pete, and Alice Dunkelberger at their house in Reno. How fun! Olivia loved having other kids around, exploring new toys, and being social. Pete was an energetic boy and super sweet, giving Olivia lots of hugs. Alice was a sweetie little 2 year old and did a really good job sharing her toys. The only point of contention was a set of Disney Princess figurines. The first night, kate and Eaton had a social engagement so we went out on the town and Olivia fell asleep in the car for a bit. Afterwards, Olivia hung out with the adults until some hour and slept with us. Saturday, after a delicious homemade breakfast, we all went to find snow, and had marginal success playing in it. Both little girls were a bit testy, but we did manage to do a few sledding g runs and play with a rock hard snowman.
