Our Ballerina

Olivia had her first ballet recital last weekend and it was a smashing success!  We had plenty of jitters beforehand, but she came through in the end!  Love that girl!!!

She's the second from the left in the back row.  :)

Who's the Boss?

The other day, I asked Olivia to pick up her toys.  She looks at me and walks out of the room.  I'll admit it, I naively thought for a split second that my sassy, Little Miss was going to obey...on the first time asked!!!  What???  Unheard of these days!

I should have known better though, because this is what I hear her chanting as she walks away...quietly at first and then singing it loud and proud for all to hear.

"You're not the boss...Daddy is the boss!  You're not the boss...Daddy is the boss!  YOU'RE NOT THE BOSS...DADDY IS THE BOSS!

Seriously, where does this little girl come from???  She is HILARIOUS!

Warning: Falling in Love Might Occur

The other day Steve got home from work and gave me a huge hug.  I was in the middle of making dinner...but liked my new option much better than stirring food over the stove, so I soaked in every minute of it!  I clung to his neck, selfishly hoping to soak in a bit of extra not-recently-tested patience levels so I could make it through the rest of the evening!  After a few seconds of the hug, we hear a little voice at our knees.  

"You guys better watch out!"  said Olivia in her Know-It-All/I'm-Always-Right voice as she peered up at us.

"Watch out for what?"  I replied...all while still hugging tightly.

"You better watch out...'cuz you might fall in love!" she retorts.

Hate to break it to you Little Miss...already fell...completely.  :)
