Olivia's "New" Bed

I am thrilled to annouce that the transition to the Toddler Bed is going swimmingly, she has only gotten out of her bed on her own once, and that was after Brad went in, opened the door, to encourage her to wake up one morning, and next thing he knew, she was streaking down the hallway screetching about Gracie's Birthday Party and wanting a Dora Birthday Cake for her own party in "Juuuuuuuulllllyyyyy".

We did go to Gracie's Birthday Party this weekend at a local Gymnastics School and Olivia had a blast. I warned all the parents about her issues with the Happy Birthday Song, and low and behold she screamed her darling little face off the first time we sang it, but made it through the second time, which was the important one...they were smart to give her a trial run so she wouldn't ruin Gracie's 3rd Birthday Video. All the parents thought it was hilarious that she screams everytime the song is sung...I have to admit, I think its pretty darn funny too. I was so impressed with Olivia's ability to listen to directions, the teachers were giving her verbal instructions on how to get through the obstacle course and she listened so well and followed right along, took turns, etc, its amazing what 2-3 months of school can do for a girl.
