Claires attempt at crawling

Confidence in ourselves

If you give a mom an idea...

She will make a cute little hair clip... Which will make her think...

"Wouldn't a matching dress be nice!?"

S

And then before you know it she will want to make MORE hair clippies...

(Poor Bear has Pink Eye- in BOTH eyes ;( )

And then if that wasn't enough crafting, she may think she needs to start on Olivia's Halloween costume...

And of course she won't be able to stop. She will finish it in 1 day.
( Can you guess who she will be for Halloween?)

All crafts/dresses made in just a few days time... once I start I can't stop!

Daddy Daughter Dates

A few weeks ago Brett and Olivia got to go to a ward Daddy Daughter Camp Out. They had lots of fun hiking and eating smores. Apparently Olivia was very shy and did not want to participate in any activities, but that is okay. They stayed up late telling stories and talking. Olivia has a fear of foreign toilets lately and therefore would NOT go pee. Brett brought the portable toilet but she was too scared to go in that in the tent. So, she held it. ALL night and half the morning. Finally she couldn't hold it any more and said she HAD to go. She filled the portable potty to its limit ;) Crazy girl! I'm glad she didn't go in her pants instead!
Brett and Livie plan to go on a date once a month from now on. Next they think they will go to Kangaroo Zoo- a jumping air-filled balloon place.

First Day of Pre-School

(Can you notice Olivia's new hair-cut? She got layers!)

Olivia started a home-based pre-school this week. It is with 4 other moms so we will be switching houses each week. It is 1 day a week for 1 1/2 hours.
Highlights of Olivia's 1st day:

Mom- "What do you want to wear for your first day of pre-school!?"
Olivia "Purple Panties."

-When we passed the Elementary school and pulled up to a house she said "It's at a house?"

-There were no tears shed by either Olivia or I because we were both SO excited!

Favorite

I love Claires age right now. I just love her 2 little teeth. It is just the cutest stage! She is ALMOST crawling, and she lives to eat. Still nursing every 2 hours and eats solids 2 times a day! She has figured out how to drink from a staw (she would do anything to drink sweet liquids!)
