I took Olivia into the bathroom while we were visiting the Science Center last week. It was about 11:00am. I'm not quite sure what made me think of this, but I asked her, "Is this the first time you've gone to the bathroom today?"
She replied, "Yes, I can hold my pee for a really long time. It's a blessing and a curse."

Generosity
Olivia: "Mom, I have 4 cents to give to Rachel, see."
(Rachel is her piano teacher, and we are leaving for piano lessons in about an hour.)
Me: "Oh, that's nice. Why are you giving Rachel 4 cents?"
Olivia: (shy smile) "Because I'm generous."
Me: "Yes, you are."
Although it's pretty funny to hear "generous" and "4 cents" in the same conversation, Olivia is actually very generous. What you don't know is that she gave her brother $5 last week for no reason, and those were her last 4 pennies.
