Tidbits & Trivia

Olivia has been in only nighttime nappies for basically the last year, but a few days ago, we ran out of nappies and so had to put her to bed without, so she's on her 6th night without nappies and it seems to be going fine. We didn't get her up to pee before we went to bed on the second night, so had a wet bed, but every other night so far has been dry, with nighttime potty breaks.

She hasn't shown much interest in drawing, but the other day we played a game where we had to guess what the other was drawing. She basically just drew whatever I had drawn before, but she _drew_ them! A tree, a snake, a boat, and more that I can't remember.

Olivia will count or say the alphabet in all sorts of silly ways if you ask her to, but I've just started to notice that when I'm not really paying attention she'll show what she knows - she sang most of the alphabet with me the other day, and today when I was in the kitchen I heard "ABCDEFG..." being sung in the living room. The same with counting. I've heard her say the numbers between 1 and 10, even going into the teens, but she loves the sound of "1-2-3-5-8!" Her favorite letter is 'O' (big surprise), and she'll look at you slyly with a little smile whilst saying that every letter you're pointing at is "O".

Olivia enjoys her dance class and likes to dance at home, and has just learned to wiggle her hips.

We have just bought our first house and Olivia will have a room that is all hers. She really likes the idea of having her own room and wants to paint it pink, red and blue.
