A Me in a Coat!

Olivia was whining as we were getting into the car the other day, and she sounded just like a little pig. As I plopped her into her car seat, I asked, "Why are you squealing like a piggy?"

She pouted, "I'm not a piggy!"

"Well then what are you?"

"I'm a me in a coat!"

This picture was taken a few days prior, but it gives you a good idea of what Olivia looks like all bundled up in her car seat. Her coat kind of seems to swallow her up a little, so she's pretty right on when she says that she's not just "a me," she's "a me in a coat!"

Where's Your Animal Crackers?

After returning from the grocery store last week, I gave Olivia a bag of animal crackers to keep her busy while I put away the groceries. A few minutes later she was at my feet hollering, "Mama! Mama!" I asked her where her animals crackers were, and she said, "I don't know." I didn't think much of it and figured we would find them after I finished putting away the groceries. Well, like always, I got sidetracked playing with Olivia, and it wasn't until I went to take her potty about an hour later that I was reminded about the animal crackers! Look where they ended up...bag and all!

Greedy Trick-Or-Treater!

Olivia did a great job trick-or-treating on Sunday! Everyone was so impressed with how well she said, "trick-or-treat!" and, "thank you!"
At one of the houses towards the end of our route Olivia didn't say anything, so I prompted her, "What do you say?"
She said, "I want candy!" Everyone got a good chuckle, and I was only slightly embarrassed. It seemed to work anyway, because she got her candy without ever saying trick-or-treat.
As we were leaving, I had to prompt her again with a, "Now what do you say?"
She said, "I want more candy!" Thankfully this happened at the house of a woman with a great sense of humor! She actually gave them both more candy!
