Easter From Coral Springs

Yes, the Easter videos keep coming, but we have a lot of them.  I promise they will stop soon!!

Faces

Olivia has many different faces.  She likes to share them all with us when we ask her to.  We will say “shock face” and she will immediately give us the face.  After we ask for one, she will usually start going through all of them by herself.  For some reason she always adds “but” before each face.  She will look at you and go “but, sad face…..but, shy face……but, thinking face.”  The face we see a lot of is her mad/crying face.  We don’t need to ask for that one!!

Easter From Florida

There really is no question that Olivia is a spoiled child.  Easter basket from Mima and Grandpa Rob last Sunday, basket from Aunt Gail and Uncle Merle this Saturday, as well as a basket from Grandma and Grandpa.  Oh the candy coma she would be in if we actually let her eat all her chocolate!!

Easter From Indiana

Aunt Gail and Uncle Merle got Olivia a cool monkey Easter basket which she loved.  Also she got a lot of chocolate, which she loves more!!  Thanks Gail and Merle for the awesome basket stuffed full of goodies!!  And thanks for all the candy for the grown-ups as well!

 

Happy Easter

We had a fun Easter.  Olivia woke up at her usual time and we did our normal Sunday morning routine, Waffle House then an outdoor activity, which today was feeding ducks at the duck pond at PC.  Livi had fun feeding the ducks and climbing any stairs that she could find.

When we got back home, Brooke had the Easter baskets ready to go.  We gave them to Livi and she got to open all of her plastic eggs and see what candy was hidden inside, along with all her other toys that were in the basket.

After going through her Easter bounty, it was time to color some eggs.  We decided doing it on her little red table and in the kitchen would be the best insurance against accidental spill stains.  Olivia didn’t really get the whole idea behind coloring eggs but did enjoy the final product and process.

The rest of the day was spent playing with toys and relaxing.  It was a nice Easter!!  Hope everyone else had a good one as well.

Potty Like A Rock Star

**This post may contain TMI for the average viewer**

Olivia has a love/hate relationship with the potty.  More love than hate, but some nights she just does not want to get on it, which is fine, because she has yet to refuse it in favor of going in her pants, not that she doesn’t go in her diaper though.

On this particular night, like any other night, I put her on it and started her bath water.  She said she was finished and just wanted to get into the tub, so I put her in there.  After about 10 minutes in the tub she got squirmy and said “Daddy, I need to sit on the potty and poop.”  I said OK and put her on there and dried her off.  What has happened in the past when she asks to get on it after being in the tub is that we need to dry her off and then usually wrap the towel around her and say “Keep you nice and warm” while she sits there.  So she has picked up on the nice and warm phrase and taken it as her own.  She was being cute so I grabbed the camera to give an inside peek at some potty time (she is covered by a towel the whole time so don’t worry!!)

I also find it funny that when the camera comes on she starts talking to “Grandma.”  She is a pro at Skype.  I did get a little scared at the part where she starts saying “clap clap clap” because I thought she was saying something else, but was relieved when I figured it out….

Morning After PC Hunt

Brooke and I (mostly I) ate most of Olivia’s candy (not that there was that much to begin with) figuring that she would not really remember that her eggs had candy in them.  As usual, she remembered.  I brought her out this Monday morning and started putting her clothes on her and she saw her basket in the Sunroom.  She got excited and ran to it, brought it to me and with the cutest smile said “ooohhhh, candy in eggs.”  She sat down and started shaking each egg listening for candy (not realizing that I took all of it out the night before) so I grabbed a few eggs, went to the candy drawer, put some candy in them, then returned them to the basket.  She finally reached an egg that had candy in it and was excited.  Since she is my Lee, I couldn’t' resist letting her have ONE Hershey’s Kiss before school, after all, it wasn’t me that would have to deal with a sugar high!!  There is really nothing cuter than Livi holding her basket and getting excited that candy is in it.
