So Smart...

Olivia: Mama...mama...MAMA!!
Leah: What sweetie?
Olivia: I'm a genius!

Stupid Hippies

The greatest thing about having a young child is you can get them to say almost anything if they're in the right mood. Sometimes Olivia is like a little parrot, and she'll just repeat or say anything you ask her to. We made the mistake of teaching her to say 'Get a job, hippie!' one day. We didn't think anything of it until we were at the grocery store checking out, and she started yelling 'Get a job, hippie!' at everyone as they walked by! Unfortunately, it's really hard not to laugh, which only encourages them more! :)

Pesos!

Leah was putting money in Olivia's piggy bank and was counting in Spanish, 'uno, dos, tres' etc. Olivia yelled at her:

'Mama, don't count in Spanish!'.

'Why not sweetie?'

'Because those aren't Spanish monies!'

I don't think I've ever seen that version of the movie...

Olivia was laying in bed, and Leah was going to get her blanket from the living room. I was talking to Olivia about Charlotte's Web, asking her about the animals and characters. I asked her what kind of animal Wilbur was, and she said 'she's a pig!' (Olivia thinks everyone is a she). I then asked her about Charlotte. Olivia got really flustered and was saying 'she's a..., she's a... she's not a roller coaster. I don't remember the word for what she is.' 'Is Charlotte a spider?' 'Yeah, she's a spider!' 'Is she a nice spider?' 'Yeah!'

Ribbit...?

I was doing laundry with Olivia, and I ran up the stairs real quick to get some hangers. Olivia came up after me and yelled 'Daddy! I don't know how to run up the stairs. I'm like a turtle. Ribbit, ribbit!'

Trick or Treat

We took Olivia out trick or treating through our little court and went to maybe 5 houses. She had just woken up from her nap, and was pretty out of it. We went to our neighbor's house, and she told Olivia to take whatever candy she wanted. Olivia looked at her with a deadpan expression and said 'Just put it in the bag...'

When we got home, Olivia had fun passing out the candy. She kept saying to all the little kids 'Do you want some candy? Just take 1!' It's so funny to see a 2 year old take charge!
