How we make people

"So, when I grow up I'll have a baby, then she will grow up and have a baby? And that's how we make more people?" Olivia

What's that Daddy?

While getting ready, Daddy was in his boxer briefs. Olivia walked in and looked at him and said "What's in your pants Daddy?"

"My money"

"Oh"

Several hours later....

"Why was your money in your pants?"

A week later...

"Daddy, what's that in your pants?"

"Olivia, girls and boys are different - I have a boy bottom, you have a girl bottom, like Mommy"

"But I don't have hair"

Again???

"Mommy, carry me" down the stairs we go. At the top of the landing, she asks "Are you going to fall and break your foot again?"

Nearly a year ago, while racing down the stairs, I fell with her in my arms and broke my foot.

Mommy's life according to Olivia

"Once  you were a little girl. Then you grew, and grew. Then grew some more... Now, you take care of me"

Mommy's life according to Olivia

Life's a Potty

Olivia says to Mommy, "Daddy, don't wipe me while I'm still trying to poopy." Mommy says "Don't call me Daddy."

"I'll call you Daddy if you wipe me before I'm finished"

Glitter

DADDY!! Carry me! I don't like getting that kitty glitter on my feet!

These are PERFECT!

While visiting the McWane Science Center in Birminham, Olivia was enjoying the "Dig Site" where children are able to pretend to be Anthropologist and brush away "dirt" from "dinosaur bones."

Like a good little scientist, she immediately doned her safety goggles and grabbed a brush.

Later, she noticed an unattended pair of goggles, remarked "These are PERFECT!" and grabbed the goggles on her face (by  putting her fingers through the front of the goggles - they were missing the lens) placed the newly found goggles on, and went back to brushing.

Love that kid!

Thank goodness she has 13 more years!

I was very excited when I found a Power Wheels Barbie Jeep at the thrift store for $20. Then, less excited when I discovered I would need to get a battery charger ($36) and even less excited when I discovered that the battery that was with it was bad and we had to order a new one ($56). So, about $112, we have a used jeep with a new battery.

The first driving lesson consisted of driving in circles around the driveway.

The second driving lesson consisted of Michael being run into two different mailboxes, resulting in gashes on his arm and belly and she ran over my foot. Later, she decided that Daisy (7yr old Pom-mix-mutt) needed to ride shotgun.

The third lesson, she spent more time on the sidewalk than off of the sidewalk.

One liners....

"Mommy, I'm going to marry Jack.. But, when I go to school I can dance with  Byrant"

"Mommy, do you have cots at  your school?"
"No"
"Where do you sleep at rest time?"

"mmmm, I like doughnuts... wish I had some doughnuts"

"Mommy, I have a little bum... don't you wish you had a little bum like mine?"

To her dolls at bedtime "Stop growing! You guys are getting so big, you are almost filling up my bed"
