3rd Birthday!

We made it 3 years, and Olivia couldn't couldn't be a sweeter little girl!  We had a fabulous bday party at newark community park yesterday with a face- painting fairy who did a magic show and balloon animals, and tacos made on site by Carmen's tacos.  Delicious!!!!  Kathy brought the tools for making giant bubbles Amandine Charlie brought the games he'd made for Olivia's 1st birthday, and they were finally used!  We had a garden theme and Olivia was dressed as a monarch butterfly while I used the excuse to buy a new dress with a petticoat!  I couldn't be happier with how it all went.

Some fun Olivia tidbits these days:
- "mommy, let me show you a trick!"
- "mommy, let me tell you a secret."
Those are both great stall techniques
- still likes Frozen, but also Minnie.  No lasting favorite character or doll.
- singing more on her own, also along with frozen soundtrack
- going potty on the big potty every time now, and can climb on it without a stool
- twirling in the 3 dresses she will wear, butterfly, Minnie mickey, and the red Minnie dress.  I'm hoping the Elsa dress I gave her for for her bday will be added to the rotation.
- loves salami
- sleeps with with us basically every night

- Misha is her best friend from school, like sisters
- has about 90% of the capital letters down.
- 36" tall, 27 lbs and 20/20 vision in her left eye.... wouldn't let us test the right eye.
- still the favorite snack for mosquitoes
- great little camper and loved looking at the boat passing by at Kirby Cove
- empathetic
- loves giving Trixie and Kiwi hugs
- naps at daycare, but questionable on weekends... too much fun playing with mommy and daddy.  Stays up until 2 go to bed.
- taking swim classes and loves the water (we're at the pool right now and she was swimming in circles in her floater)
- taking dance classes, not as interested...
- plays with her kitchen much more now.
- still has breathing issues occasionally needing the nebulizer
- sweetest little sweetheart ever!
