Ode to my Olivia!


We are on day number 7 of potty training! Not only am I so very happy, but I am beyond proud! Literally, 100% of the credit goes to Olivia! Excluding praise and encouragement that Chase and I have given, this victory is all hers! She made the decision to say so long to diapers, and she has stuck by it! Determined little thing! This photo is of her on her first day of potty training!

She seems to like blowing me away
these days, because potty training wasn't the only impressive thing she has done lately. Often when I am cleaning the kitchen, we will have "table time", which is any activity they can do sitting at their table. Chase always chooses puzzles. Olivia usually chooses books or other toys. Well the other day, I called them over, and just put a bunch of puzzles on the table. I walked out and Chase was working on his, and helping Olivia with hers too. When I came out again Chase was working on another one, and I saw that Olivia had put two pieces together. I was kind of surprised as she had only ever done the letter or number puzzles for toddlers, and never an actual puzzle. So I kept peaking in, and watched as she put the entire puzzle together. I was so shocked, and so proud that I ran and grabbed my camera to get a picture!
I always think of her as my baby, but I think she wants us all to know she is a big girl now!
