3 New Things About Olivia Since She Turned 3

1. Her imagination is blossoming. She plays make believe all the time now while it was really non-existent before she turned 3. She'll pretend to see things. She'll pretend with her babies more now. She'll ask you to pick up imaginary things. Its so cute to see her imagine.

2. A bad by product of her imagination blossoming - she is now SCARED of imaginary things. "Mommy Mommy the elephants (replaced over and over again with any animal she can think of) going to get me" and she comes running to me. The lights flashed last night and Tom said she said she was scared of the dark. TV shows that she likes now she'll hid in the kitchen because something that she has watched before is all of a sudden scary. She doesn't seem to be really scared but she is certainly experimenting with the emotion.

3. Olivia has gotten really good at Hide and Seek. She still announces he presence if you call out "Where's Olivia" she'll pop out of hiding "Here I am!!" But she is finding good hiding places and is taking turns with the counting and finding. It's so cute and so much fun. The only down side is once you get this started its a good hour commitment to play with her she loves it so much.

P.S. Olivia potty training update: She has been doing great for 3 weeks now! I'm so proud of her. She even used a public restroom for the first time. She is such a big girl in her princess panties!!
