This past week, I started taking Olivia outside for an hour everyday, partly because I know she loves it and partly because I know I love it when she can run around- soo entertained with little effort from me. Its been awesome. She is so freaking cute and smart too. Today I was unbelievably tired, and I really enjoyed just standing in the sun and letting it heat me up, from the outside in. Sunshine is so wonderful. The heat was just perfect for my sleepy mood, and I was thinking of how I needed to soak up this sunshine warmth before it gets cold. As I watched her scratch and pick at the grass growing between the cracks in the sidewalk, I also felt like I needed to soak up this cute little girl who used to be my baby. She's so big to me now.
I thought this was the greatest idea I've ever had (to let her run around outside for an hour before bed). However, now, about five seconds after she wakes up, she is ready to go outside. Maybe I should tell you that she normally wakes up at 6:50 or so, but lately its been 6, or 5:50 to be exact (so weird). I was in my underwear and not ready to go outside this morning at 5:50 am, but that didn't stop her from standing at the door and knocking, then screaming, then both. Its a wonder why our neighbors don't hate us.
Anywho, here are way too many videos of our adventures outside (all taken from my iphone hence the odd shape):
Do you love her outfit? B's creation- I love it :)
