Last week, Olivia had a little virus and we stayed home on Tuesday. She ended up seeing the underwear I had previously purchased for her and it was game on! She wore underwear most of the day and only had a couple accidents. Since then, we're mostly done underwear, except for when going out and sleepy time. She was doing really well... and today was fantastic! When we picked Olivia up from daycare, they happily reported that she didn't have a single accident, though she hadn't poo-poo'd yet. We went out to Chili's to celebrate, and she went pee-pee on the potty at the restaurant! Yes, we were the people running through the restaurant while she was holding her crotch.
Back at home, she would run off to the bathroom all of a sudden and pee-pee'd twice. 15 min later, she was worried about poo-poo'ing and we rushed back to the bathroom.... and voila! A big ol' poo poo in the toilet! Kevin tells me she did one yesterday too! We are very proud!
Olivia's language skills are impressive as well. We are working on the whining and on complete sentences for asking for things nicely. She's getting better by the day. Olivia remembers things for fairly long times and brings up memories from week and months ago. It's so amazing to see her develop.
<I'm in bed typing this up and Olivia keeps coming out of her room to go potty again. 10 min ago we did a substantial pee with a surprise poo-poo, and she just came out again wanting to do another "monster poo poo". Yes, she said "monster". Too funny!>
So now I'm fighting some sort of something and hope to be over it before we go to Tahoe this weekend to play in the snow. Can't wait! We'll be visiting Eaton and Kate Dunkelberger and their two children when we're up there and I'm looking forward to the kiddos playing together.
We've had a couple play dates with our friend Misha from daycare and her lovely family. I owe an invitation to them for next weekend - invite them over to play. Last weekend, Melanie and little Zach joined us for a Home Depot project and playdate with brunch (eggs) back at home. It was a very relaxing time. Melanie is due with her second boy in April so she is counting the days to maternity leave.
I guess that's all for now. I should look at some work stuff but will probably just go to sleep to get over this thing that I'm fighting.
Nighty-Night! Sleep tight! Don't let the bed bugs bite - I have to go see what Olivia just deposited in her toilet....
