Just got done working on Olivia's Birthday photo-session. What a little cutie right? So here is the latest from the life of our little 3yr. old cutie-bear. Mommies are allowed to brag for birthday posts, right? (Even if I am posting this 3 mths. late).

Her Favorites:

Reading, reading, reading...She's into this thing lately where she'll carry EVERY book from her bookshelf to the dresser next to her bed, and sit in bed and read them all. Brandon sat with her for an hour while she read Go Dog Go...he said she only needed help with a few words, but did almost the whole book by herself!

"Dressing Up". We don't have anything fancy, but if she puts on a dress, its "dressing up". And the dress must be accompanied by "princess shoes" which are church shoes. She loves to pretend to be a Princess and dance to "Princess music" : slow and soothing music.

Play Dates/Socializing. She loves playing with friends and is SO social. She has no inhibitions and easily starts conversations with ANYONE we come across - kids, adults, men, women...The conversation begins like this: "Hi! My name is Olivia. I'm THREE (holding up 3 fingers). What's your name?"

Listening to music/Dancing/Singing.

Exploring Outside. She loves to go on walks outside and explore nature. I've been loving the seasons here in CT - it has really facilitated her interest in the changing seasons.

Watching "shows". Favorites right now are Sesame Street, Toot & Puddle, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Tigger & Pooh

She is such an animated, energetic, girl. We get some firey tantrums too, but most of the time she is as sweet as can be. She is always making us laugh with the things she says, and does...so much personality in a little body. Happy Birthday Olivia!
