Time Out.

Odd day today.  When Brooke went to pick Olivia up form daycare, Olivia was sitting in the corner in a chair, not moving or crying, just sitting in the corner.  Turns out she had been hitting another girl in class and was therefore put into “time out.”  We are kind of amazed that she sat there with out moving.  We are sad that Livi was a bad girl, but the daycare woman said that she gave them all way too much sugar and that could have been the problem.  We have noticed that Olivia has taken to “fake” hitting recently.  She looks at you and goes “uuuhhhhh” and swings her hand at you.  It is time for the pushing of the boundaries I guess.  Get ready for a bumpy ride Livi!!

Today PC had a Halloween carnival in a big grassy area at school with tables of goodies setup and all kinds of activities.  Olivia ran around non stop and had a blast.   Tomorrow night is a friend’s Halloween party and a down town festival.  Very busy weekend, lets hope Livi can stay well until the weekend is over, this will be her first active Halloween.

One other thing we have done is install a mirror in the hallway.  She LOVES seeing herself in the mirror and dances and stares at it.  The mirror is her best friend.  Take a look at the second video below that we made for Brooke’s Psych class.  The first part of the video is from May 2010 (18 months old) and she should be self aware (meaning she should recognize that she has something on her head, not that there is a person in the mirror with something on their head.)  As you can see, she was not self aware until 23 months. Ohh slow slow Lee!!
