This month, (last week) Olivia took her very first plane ride and did very well. I'm what you might call a nervous flier, but more like a cat on the ceiling who needs a Valium. But to Olivia, the plane was just another place to meet people, go "weeee" when the plane went in the air, and then a cozy and loud environment for a long nap. In order to see all of the places that I want to see with her and Chris, this is the attitude I hope to adopt.Our plane ride was to Austin for the week where Olivia enjoyed the pleasures of Texas: tacos, grackles, butterflies, and swimming pools. We had lots of fun taking the Zilker Park Zephyr, a kid-sized train around the park, checking out the Austin Children's Museum where she hardly left the train table, and riding on Daddy's shoulders on South Congress. One of the major highlights was a visit to Toy Joy, an amazing toy store where we got some ideas of what toys we should be looking into when her birthday rolls around.
Other than being a world class traveler, Olivia's very fond of her new drawing table where much of the coloring happens on the table itself, rather than the paper.
Thinking of her next crayon masterpiece:
The crinkle face has returned! This is the face she gives you when you ask her to smell flowers:
She also says "It's mine," a lot. She's not fond of sharing.
Quite a kid!
