What's that??? & other Olivia funnies

What's that??? What's that??? What's that???

What's that is now Olivia's favorite words. I must say she is driving me a bit crazy with all of the questions. I will read her a book and she asks "What's that?" on every page. We will be watching PBS or Disney and she asks "What's that?"

Now on to the funny things she says. Last Sunday, Peter ran into the den laughing about something Olivia said.

Olivia got into his closet while he was putting his clothes away. He turns out all of lights and all of a sudden he hears, "Turn light on Daddy!" Peter just stands there for a second and she says again, "Turn light on Daddy!" So he turns the light on and then he hears, "Thank you!" He goes over to the closet and opens the door and she tells him to close the door back.

Later that afternoon, I cook us dinner so I tell Olivia to go tell Daddy that it is time to eat. So she runs off to find daddy. Peter comes into the kitchen and starts "beating" on me and saying, "Time eat, time eat, time eat." He told me that was what Olivia did when she found him. She started "beating" on him and saying, "Time eat time eat time eat".

Now here are a couple of things that will melt you heart. The week of Memorial Day she stayed with my Mom and Dad while Peter and I went to his conference. Mom was putting Olivia's stuff in the room she was going to be sleeping in and saw a picture of me and said, "Mommy!" That night while Olivia was sleeping in her little cot and my in the bed she(mom) heard Olivia whimpering and a strange noise. She looked down and saw that Olivia had taken my picture to bed and she was hitting her head on it while she was asleep. My heart melted when my mom told me that. Also the first time I talked to her on the phone that week the first thing Olivia said to me was "Hold me." She is such a sweet little girl. She tells Peter and I she loves us all the time and quite a few times without either one of us saying it first. Yesterday morning when I picked her up out of bed and walked down the stairs she patted my back and said "I yuv you mommy." Life doesn't getting any better than that!!
