Mom and I took Olivia and Laila to the library for story hour today. I didn't know what to expect from O since she hasn't been around a whole group of kids before. We got there just as they started and they happened to be celebrating Dr. Seuss so the woman reading was dressed as the Cat in the Hat, and there was another person dressed as a Thing (I'm not sure if it was One or Two). They gave Olivia a nice big Hat which she examined for a few seconds, then put it down to roam around with the other toddlers. They sang songs and read 3 Dr. Seuss books. Most of the kids weren't paying attention so Olivia fit right in! She even sat down nicely for a few minutes next to a little girl whose boots Olivia kept touching...until it came off...oops. And thankfully it was over within half an hour because I don't think either of them would have lasted much longer. Laila did great as well, she slept in the ergo carrier the whole time (except when I had to bend down to put the little girl's boot back on her foot, and Laila screamed for a few seconds). Now that the weather's getting nicer I'm hoping to go on more outings to keep Olivia occupied...here's to hoping Laila cooperates!
i love how olivia, without hesitation, goes to check out that girl's bedazzled dress, and bedazzled girl couldn't care less! and laila's looking as cute as ever - already so different from when i last saw her :)

ReplyDeleteI agree with Bigail-- Laila looks SO much bigger! And I'm happy you guys got out. To be fair, that girl's outfit WAS pretty tempting hahaha
