Poet Picnic

Tonight we had Aaron's work summer picnic. It was super hot out! They had chicken dinners, ice cream and pop to offer. Olivia did really good. I packed her ham, string cheese, grapes, crackers and gummies of course! I always try and pack because I am just not sure what they will have sometimes when you go places and I am so fussy about what she eats.... meaning sometimes she barely eats a bite and I get worried. So I pack things I know she'll like. She did really good with the other people as well, we tried to jump in this big jumpy thing but she wanted nothing to do with it. A little later in the evening Aaron did take Olivia to the swings and playground stuff... that helped I think. I was starting to get annoyed by the gnats that were everywhere... and always are around your eyes. A little later she got to hold baby Silas.... and she was so excited and did very well. He is 7 months old and when born, he was only 2 lbs and 13 oz. So he has been through a lot and doing very well. Olivia is now saying doggie, kitty, eat, cake, thank you, keys, apple, ball, cheese, pretty, buzz, and mommy. If we play the "where is.... " game she is really good at trying to repeat the item....like snake....she sounds out the "s"... it is really fun!
