Little Miss Helpful
Olivia helped me clean out my wallet this weekend. Wasn’t that thoughtful of her?

Rock Chalk
We took the girls to the WNIT championship game today to cheer on the Jayhawk women. Allen Fieldhouse at KU is an incredible place–small by some comparisons, but steeped in so much tradition that it’s palpable the moment you walk into the arena.
Olivia had a great time clapping along with the crowd.
Ava had a great time, too–she gave Baby Jay a high five and saw the govenor (she later told our friend Tom that Governor Sebelius is going to Washington to work with President Obama). She did find it to be a bit loud, though…
In all fairness, this is a decible rating you can see on the scoreboard here, so I see her point.
To make up for it, we took a trek down to the court to meet up with a special friend.
The Jayhawks didn’t win, but we had a great time nonetheless!

Olivia has been feeding herself for a very long time, but she’s using utensils more and more. It was at about this age that Ava did, too. I’m not sure which one was messier.

Olivia’s trip to the dentist
Olivia had her first dental check-up this morning, and like her big sister, she was far more concerned with the requisite butterfly chair photo than the actual exam.
Still, despite having a good role model in the chair next to her, Olivia didn’t warm up to the whole situation very quickly.
The dentist examined her teeth while Olivia sat on my lap, but she decided she needed to check out the chair before we left.
I don’t know what she’s so upset about–her teeth look fine, and the dentist even said she could keep her pacifier until she’s two! Good news all around.

When Olivia’s hungry, she just helps herself to something from the snack shelf. She makes my job so easy.

Overheard: New words edition
Olivia: More milk!
(In all fairness, Olivia has said “milk” before, but it happened while I was in Madison. I was surprised that Bryan didn’t call to tell me about the new word. He said, “Well, she also tried to use a spoon to drink water out of the toliet. Did you want me to call and tell you that, too?”)
