in Olivia's words.

Carter had just spilled my glass of water and Olivia returned with a towel to help clean up.
O: "Come here, Carter, let me dry your leg.  It's okay, its just water.  Accidents happen and mommy isn't mad.  We clean them up. It's okay.  I got you all dry."
----is she going to be 3 next week or 16?!  Seriously, she makes me laugh!


O: "Mommy look at your new curtains!  They are soooo beautiful!"  (we put new curtains in our bedroom)

Olivia's thoughts on love.....
 Me: "I love you, Olivia.  You are my special girl."
O: "I love you too!  You are my special mommy!"

Andy:  "No, I don't want to jump on the trampoline right now."
O: "Buttttt, Daddy, I love you."
Andy: "And I love you, Olivia."
O: "Daddy, that means we love each other and we should jump!"


We were talking about the difference between telling the truth and telling a lie after she lied to me about hitting her brother in the face.
Me: "You can tell me anything. Even if you didn't make a good choice, you still tell Mommy the truth.  I will always love you."
O: "I won't tell a lie.  I will tell the truth because it makes God happy!"  (LOVE that she made that realization on her own!)


When Andy was leaving to go back to work after lunch one day....
O: "Daddy where are you going?"
Andy: "I am going to work,"
O:  "Againnn?  You were just there!"


In a stinky restaurant bathroom during our travels last week....I was using the bathroom and she was in the stall with me. Very loudly, she says.... 
O: "Mom it is stinky!  Is that you?  Are you stinky?  Your bottom is stinky!"
I couldn't even respond to her because I was laughing so hard!  haha.  And, for the record, the bathroom was stinky when we arrived!
