The puddle jumper

My neighbor has a puddle that Olivia loves. The puddle rarely dries up on their driveway, and she takes full advantage of jumping around in it. Today I caved and let her take her sandals off! As she was splashing around she said "Mommy splish-splash too." "No Olivia, mommy's fine right where she is!" Ha!

Visiting Grandma Z

My grandma lives in an assisted living community, and Olivia loves to visit her. We try and go at least once a week because both Grandma and Olivia enjoy the visit so much. When we first arrive, Olivia makes a stop at the "Golfing Polar Bear" and hangs out there for awhile. Once inside, she loves to ride the elevator upstairs to Grandma's Z's apt. Then we're off and running to visit the Chapel, the fish tank, the bird cages, the statues of saints, and the garden. Olivia leads the way announcing each item on her list of "places to visit." Sometimes when shes tired she catches a ride on Grandma's walker! Its a riot.
