We had a good Thanksgiving, but the thing Olivia was really waiting for was having Elf show up the next morning. He did, and Lee was excited. She has had fun the last few days finding him every morning. Not sure how long before this becomes old, but right now, she loves it. He is always watching!!
One of Livi’s favorite night time stories acted out. Sometimes she likes her night reading to be interactive.
Lee had a great Birthday. She got to celebrate Wednesday night (her real Birthday) and then on Saturday with Mima and Botow. For some reason I lost the video of her opening her other packages, but I do have her opening Auntie Steph and Uncle C.J.’s package. She did love all her gifts. I’ll try and post the Saturday celebration later this week.
Lee continues to love Katie Perry. Her latest favorite song is Roar. Every time it comes on she sings it as loud as she can. I am impressed at the words she knows. I did ask her if she knew what champion meant and she said no, so I had to explain it to her. Wonder what words she knows from songs that I am glad she doesn’t know the meaning to, she certainly gets her share every day to and from school.
We decided to see if Olivia could start to sound out words since she knows her alphabet so well. So we gave her Brooke’s original A Pig Can Jig book that she learned to read with, and Lee took off reading. She is doing a good job, but tires and starts getting silly pretty quickly. Good job Lee, keep it up!
One of Lee’s favorite movies recently is Lilo and Stitch. It is based in Hawaii and there is a lot of hula dancing in the movie. Lee picked up on it and now loves hula dancing. Over the weekend, Brooke promised her that if she was good, she would buy her a hula skirt. Since Lee was good, she got her skirt, however, for some reason, Olivia won’t wear it with any other clothes. She thinks she needs to be naked. Also, because she is so skinny, we had to put a chip clip on the back of the skirt to make it tighter and hold it up on her waist. Enjoy some first-rate hula dancing!!
Lee has gotten very good at riding her bike. She can stop, turn corners, even do a 180 degree turn in the street. Now we just need to get her to start on her own and she’ll be set. Time for a bigger bike.
