Olivia

There is lots of nursing going on around this house! Now the girls have been "nursing" their baby animals on the couch with me when I feed Ellie, or milk Ellie as Livy says. They both have a favorite that they are taking care of but Livy is way into it. She feeds her baby cheetah and changes her diaper and outfit a few times a day. She is learning how to do Ellie's diaper too now. She just wants to take care of others and make them happy. She is always giving Rachel whatever she wants just to make her happy. She also does anything Rachel asks her to: go get this for me, do me this favor, get me a snack please, wash me in the bath tub, etc. Rachel is taking advantage of her sisters kindness for sure!

Burping and nursing.

Feeding her baby named Spotty. She even has a custom collar with her name on it.

It is just crazy how different Rachel and Livy are in most things.

Here are Livy's straight forward problem solving ideas:

When asking to use scissors, "I promise I'll try not to cut my fingers off."

On seeing one of Ellie's newborn pictures posed in a basket, " Did we put her in that to take a sleep?"

When wanting to stay at Jamie's when she had to go out, "Well, why don't we just babysit McKay. You have two eyes to watch the two trouble makers and when they get in trouble you have two arms for them." Rachel added in, "You don't need to keep an eye on us, we can handle ourselves."

She learned a joke in New York from one of the babysitters and her and Rachel love to tell it over and over.

Livy: "Guess what."

Mom: "What."

Livy: "Chicken butt!"

At their preschool they start class with a prayer and Livy's teacher told me the other day that she gave a really sweet prayer. I don't know what she said but I am so proud of you Livy for doing such a great job and setting a great example!
