Olivia's Second Joke!

Olivia: Knock Knock.
Leah: Who's there?
Olivia: Banana
Leah: Banana who?
Olivia: Banana Mama!!

Olivia's First Joke

Olivia was laying on the couch with Leah, and then hit her on the top of
the head.

Olivia: Knock Knock
Leah: Who's there?
Olivia: Boo hoo.
Leah:Boo hoo who?
Olivia: (slight pause)...Daddy!
Leah:( longer pause)...I don't get it...

...or Cool it up?

Leah heated Olivia's milk and gave it to her. Olivia took one drink and said 'It's too warm Mama. You need to warm it down for me!'

Potty Time!

Olivia has used her potty 4 times now, twice last night, and twice this morning! She only had one accident, in the bathroom; she said it was because she couldn't get up oto the big toilet. I'm so proud of my little girl! :)

Trouble

Olivia was singing her stinky song about me, so I sung it back about her. She got really offended and said 'I'm not stinky!'. 'Well, if you're not stinky, then what are you?' Her response: 'A Troublemaker!'

I miss you

I'm in Cleveland with Leah doing an investment class, and I haven't seen Olivia since Monday. It's never easy to be away from her that long. I've had to do it a couple of time due to traveling for work, but it's been since February.

I miss you sweetie. I'll see you tomorrow.

Old Blue Eyes

Leah and I thought it would be cute to teach Olivia a song that not many two year olds know. She's been singing her ABC's, Twinkle Twinkle, The Barney Theme, Elmo's World, etc. for awhile now. They're all cute, but who doesn't want their kid to sing something with some pizazz and class. It's finally starting to pay off; we were sitting around tonight and Olivia started to sing:

Fly Me to the Moon
Let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like on
Jupiter and Mars

Anyone have Super Bowl tickets they want to sell?

I think I yell too much when watching football. You have to understand though; I'm a Detroit Lions fan. I sat through over a decade that was lost by incompetence and arrogance. My team was irrelevant for over 10 years, the laughing stock of the league.

Finally, my team has people talking. They're 4-0, and some experts are picking them as on of the top 3 teams in the league. Meaningful football is stressful, especially when you're not used to it.

Anyway, I was watching the game with Olivia sitting next to me. Leah was in the kitchen talking to her mom on the phone. The Lions were playing Dallas in what became the greatest Lions game I have ever watched. Down 27-3 in the third quarter, they fought back to make it a game. I was yelling at the TV something like 'Stop it!' or 'GO!' depending on the action. Olivia is right next to me yelling 'Stop it!'. Leah came in the room and looked at me and said 'No, Mom, he's not yelling at Olivia, she's fine. They're sitting on the couch watching the Lions game.'

Later on in the next game, I stepped out of the room for a minute, and I hear my 2 year old yelling 'GO!' at the TV. That's my girl...
