Yesterday we celebrated Olivia's 3rd Birthday. We kicked off celebrations Friday night at our Navs dinner at our house. Saturday morning we had a change of plans :) Originally we had planned to head to Bolton to spend some much needed time with Nana and Papa, but they called early in the day to say they were heading to Boston...more on that in a minute. So we had breakfast at Atkins, Olivia enjoyed some apple juice and a chocolate chip scone, while we visited with Mary, our edger, and her parents who were down visiting from Maine. Then our other Edger, Becca, offered to watch Isaac so Nate and I could take Olivia out for a special lunch, juts with Mommy and Daddy. We headed to Friendly's where Olivia enjoyed some chicken fingers and fries with lots of ketchup, followed by a sundae!!! The staff even sang to her and she blew out her second candle. When we got home she opened her presents and played with them the rest of the day. Later in the afternoon, we found out her very first cousin (my first nephew!) had been born!!!! What a present!!! Next Saturday we will have a party to celebrate both Olivia and Isaac!
Olivia is one amazing little girl- independent, extroverted, expressive, fun, caring- she loves to help cook in the kitchen, or make her little brother laugh. Recently we noticed she can color within the lines, really well, and is often drawing pictures of everything. She went through a Cinderella movie phase, but currently likes to watch the veggie tales JONAH everyday. She also likes Sesame Street, Word World, Daniel Tigers Neighborhood, and Sid the Science Kid.
This last year she had many changes and she really handled them well for such a young girl. She welcomed her baby brother with open and gentle arms. She moved to a toddler bed. She said goodbye to PA and friends there and moved to MA with us. She visited a new church every week this summer- doing amazing in each churches' Sunday school while we visited grown-up church. She shares a room with her brother and sleeps in a twin bed. She is fully potty trained, day and night, having completed potty training boot camp. And really that was all before October!
