Last night Chad and I decided to head to the mall near our house because on Wednesday evenings they have a Farmer's Market and live music.. very fun. I also had to pick a little something up in the mall. Olivia was in a great mood and was immediately thrilled by the bit fountain outside the mall entrance. We let her throw a penny into and she could not have been happier.....Then the evening proceeded something like this:
5:30 Walk throught the mall to the store..Olivia first wants to walk, then be held, then walk, then be held, etc.etc....
6:00 Go to a restaurant for dinner...Olivia colors her picture ( crayons graciously provided by the restaurant) in about 5.2 seconds, then she stands up in the booth and tries to touch the man's head who is sitting behind us. ( Have a quick chat about privacy and personal space). Bread arrives....quiet for about 2 minutes. Then meal arrives...she proceeds to try and then spit out the trout we ordered ( well at least she tried it). Eats broccoli and mashed potatoes instead...after eating for 5 minutes decides it's time to let everyone know how loud she can be...( this is "new" for her )..Chad is mortified..(Have a quick chat about "inside" voices),then we quickly finish dinner and pay the bill. Olivia waves bye-bye to everybody around us and people look very relieved that we are leaving.
6:45 Walk thru the farmer's market..buy some honey.. Olivia decides the honey bear is now her best friend...let's "him" sit next to her while she proceeds to dance precociously to the live music that is playing.
7:15 head home... Olivia is busy chatting in the back seat about her evening.. apparently she is quite content with what she has experienced. We are pooped.
The crazy thing is.... We are about to start the process all over again with a new one!!! Aghhh...are we nuts?
xoxoxo
