Olivia: Too smart for words

Loves to eat on the deck

Olivia is 2 but has to be one of the smartest two year olds you would ever encounter.  She currently loves to play with cars, and trucks, and trains.  Really anything that she can drive on her mat that looks like roads and tracks.  She is very sweet to Stella.  She has timeout almost everyday because she is very stubborn and does not listen.  But still she just walks right to where she is supposed to sit for timeout and sits there until you say she is done.  What kid does that?  She loves pizza and chicken nuggets but also loves yogurt.  This week she is addicted to yogurt and grapes and usually the food changes every week.  If I buy either one of those things next week she probably won't eat either one of them.  She is starting to become a big helper and likes to help me do things.  She continually talks to me from the moment that she gets up until bedtime.  The potty training is going slowly but surely but I need to push the underwear more.  The problem with that is that she goes through the five pair she has so quickly that I don't know what to do unless I just force her to stay in them.  We have been staying home a lot more now that I have gone back to work and O has been home with dad which I think she loves.  Things she does that amaze me:  yesterday I told her I didn't think we had any juice boxes and then I found one in the closet and she said this exactly "See you found one mommy good job can I have it please"  She also will throw out things like way cool or holy moly.  She asks me questions all the time and can actually pick out any cars that look like mine or Tims.  She is not ready for fall and I am realizing that I will need to sign her up for swimming lessons which she was getting pretty good at thanks to auntie Kee because she asks me everyday if it is warm enough to go swimming.  My sister got a little dog which she thinks is a toy and terrorizes and also loves to terrorize Harley on a daily basis.  Overall she is a goofball that sometimes can drive me nuts but also is so amazing I can't help but squeeze her.
