Getting Culture

Two of my cousins (my Mexican cousins) came to visit today. Cecilia and Angie came to spend the day with us. It was great...we hung out, played a game, went to a play/coffee place. I thoroughly enjoy being this close to family and having them be a part of our lives. Angie is one of the funniest people I know. As they were getting ready to leave, I sincerely told her how great it was that they could come visit...

Angie: I know, it is good for Olivia and Josh

Me: It is! I love that we are so close now.

Angie: It is good for 2 reasons. One, we are family. (Me: That's true!) Two, Olivia and Josh get culture!

So a very big Thank you to Angie and Cecilia for our day of culture! I look forward to more!

To be Mimicked

Today I busted out Olivia's little table and chairs and set her up for some coloring. I sat down at the dining room table with my bible study ready to go. Olivia and I sat on the same side of our perspective tables. I had my coffee in tow and Olivia then insisted on a sippy cup. I opened up my bible study and started. I looked over at Olivia and she had a crayon in her mouth! We went through the whole idea of not eating crayons. A few moments later, crayon in the mouth. I went to reprimand her again and in the middle of "no, Olivia" I started laughing. My pen was in MY mouth!! oops. I wonder where she gets that from. Not even a minute later, I catch her coloring in her book. Again..."we color on paper, not in our books." I go back to my bible study and look at the first page, glaring with passages that have been underlined, notes in the margin. Shoot. I wonder where Olivia got that idea! Apparently I missed the lesson about no crayons in the mouth and coloring on paper not in the books.

Sleepy Head

The other day I went into Olivia's room during nap time to get something and this is what I found. Apparently, she fell out of bed during the course of napping and didn't wake up! She woke up later thoroughly confused why she was on the floor and asked to be put back in her bed so she could continue her nap. What a silly girl.
