Oli - Moli

Oli:
-Mommy,is me grown up yet?
-I am not a baby ,I am not crawling ,I am walking,sliding and jumping.
-I am not a mommy yet.

Me: Do you want to be a mommy?
Oli: Yes ,I want to be like you ( Yehhooo I am the rising star of my baby now as Kevin said!!!!!)
Me: What are you going to do then?
Oli: I will nurse my baby(she is smiling:-))
Me:That's good ,you can be a great mommy.
Oli:I will have baby called Olivia ,but it is not me .It will be different Olivia.And I will bring it to you daddy and mommy (Grandchild is coming soon:-))

Yesterday at dinner Olivia had a near miss.A little(??) chicken piece was stuck on her throught and I jumped and tapped ( Knew that wasn't the riht thing to do tough) her back hold her head up etc .
Me: Oli are you all right (after tapping ome )
Oli: Nooo
Me:Are you all right? After some more tapping
Oli:Yes ,I am fine
Oli: Did you hit me ????? ( she looked so confused )

It cracked Reha and me out .I am still laughing when I remember her question.

I was reading her book called "definitions".It is a silly book about how bunch of little kids defined certain words.We bought it from library's sale together.Really a vintage one with black and white little drawings no color at all.Olivia loves it !! Here is our conversation while reading it:


"Parties to make little children happy" ( I am reading )
Oli: No -little children can make be happy by myself.They don't need party.(!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

MY CLEVER GIRL!!!!!!!!!! You are absolutelly right.

Another picture from last summer- Yapmiycam isteeeeeeeeee:-))


WE tried potty training again last week . No success second time!!

Locked at home 3 days in a row.
Friday--Went little on the carpet while playing in her room after 4 hours of holding her number 1. I said "Go ,go and sit on the potty .May be you can go some more into the potty" She did and peed a little more right into it.We cheered and prized.After 2 min she run to her potty saying .I will pee again.And DID even more this time .We poured it into toilet ,flushed . Very happy went to sleep .

Saturday- -AM:5 hours holding then went on the carpet after lots of sitting and reading on the potty
PM: Went number 1 and 2 on her underwear after holding for a long time.

Sunday: After holding it 7 hours( from 8 am to 3 pm with lots of sitting on the potty and reading talking) went on me . When she was urged we were in the bathroom instead of sitting on the potty she wanted me hold her :-))

Then Olivia and both took shover .And went to bed for nursing and napping.In the bed she looked at me and said :
"What a shame.Mommy I am sorry that I peed on you:-((("

I felt so sorry for her, for us.
I put her diaper back and decided to wait some more..
Olivia's concerns were:

-I am too little to try :-))
-It is yukky pee and poo in the potty
-I am a baby.I am your baby( This is how I call her during our love times:-))
-I like diaper,I don't like potty.
-Good job Mommy( by showing two tumbs up:-)) , you peed in the potty.Do you wanna eat chocolate?:-))

When Olivia was real baby (only a year ago),I kept thinking about our relationship with speaking Olivia. Now I would easily say that it is A LOT OF FUN to hear her words !!

This picture from last summer when Olivia has been talked only with a few words like

"Olivia lay down"
"Open door"
"I eat emmacy( Ice cream )" etc.

I love this picture of us and I didn't know that I am going to love her stories by then:-)

Now for a few weeks she is telling us stories -her imaginary stories- all the time. Yesterday after she sat down in her car seat after a long playground time she said " Mommy ,meanwhile can I talk about Kanga washing Piglet ??"
Couple of days ago when she again wanted to tell one I took pen and notebook and told her I would like to write her story.She looked very excited.Her expression changed became little shy too. Then she started to her story:

"Little mouse was playing all day long in the playground.Kanga was washing Piglet.Pooh got lots of honey . Christopher Robin doesn't mind if Pooh eats all the honey.Winnie de Pooh asked "are you my mother" to little mouse."

I think this is Olivia's first written story. Isn't it cute :-))

Olivia likes yogurt .But she likes eating by finger instead of spoon.Here is out conversation :

Mommy: Olivia I would rather eat my yogurt by spoon.
Oli: If I were youuu ( very strong one ),I would eat with my finger !!!


-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Today we had almost 80 degrees here in south CA. Feels like Mediterranean. Below one from last summer too.
She is too happy with her backpack following the crowd :-))





Nice to stay behind and take some quite time. This sun glass makes me feel strange better take it out :-))



Oh bother .What is that a nice little yard or what?:-))

(Then I had to walk back to pick her up !!)

When her DVD stuck in the player after a couple of Oli's rough pushes.

" I am sorry Mommy.Are you making best of it? Let me show Izzy to Izzy than it may work" (she was holding DVD cover to TV screen thinking that there are 2 character Izzy ,one is in the TV screen the other one on the DVD cover :-))))


--------------------------------------------------------------------
THIS IS MY FAVORITE OF LAST DAYS:
Oli: In J. Peterson's class( her teacher) ,she has Christopher Rob!n's book ,exactly the same of the library's. ( She was so surprized :-))
