The other day after picking Olivia up from Auntie Nicki's after daycare, Pie and I had our usual chat about what she did that day -- who she played with, what they did, what she ate, if she was kind to others, etc. Then Olivia said, "Mom, I'm going to tell you something." I was anticipating some sort of confession.
"What? I like when you tell me things."
"I'm going to tell you something I did at Auntie Nicki's."
"Okay, you can tell me," as we pulled up to a red light.
"I'll tell you when the light changes green."
Whaaaat? "Okay, but it just turned red so it's going to be a while."
We sat through the entire light cycle. She said not a word. When I finally got the green arrow, she smiled and happily said, "I played downstairs with Anna. We played with dolls."
Wow. I'm glad she waited those three minutes to tell me...

Driving north on 169 the other day-
Olivia: I went there with Daddy yesterday!
Me: Where?
Olivia: That yellow place!
Me: Oh...McDonalds.

She used to know those famous golden arches...well, they were "Old McDonalds." I guess it's a good thing that she can't remember what that yellow place is called anymore.
