Olivia let the school nurse pull her tooth!

Well Olivia lost the last of her two front teeth yesterday. It had been loose for quite some time. I kept asking to pull it but she refused my offer. Then yesterday she comes home from school and bounces right up to me and opens her mouth. She was so excited she lost her tooth at school....every grade school student's dream....or at least Olivia's. She has been talking about losing a tooth at school since last year and it finally happened with some help apparently. Her tooth became so dangly that the teacher sent her to the nurses office where the nurse put on her surgical gloves and yanked the thing out! I told Olivia I couldn't believe she would let the nurse pull her tooth and not her own mother.....to which she had absolutely no reply. She was just thrilled to have lost her tooth at school were she got a treasure box to to hold her tooth until she got home. Plus all the recognition for being the girl that lost her tooth at school. I think overall...yesterday was a very good day for Olivia.

Abby did you cut your sister's hair?

Two days ago I found a lock of hair on the floor as I was cleaning. I decided to pick it up and move on.....not in the mood to investigate. It wasn't enough to ruin anyone's appearance. But then the next day a found quite a bit more laying beside Emily. I looked at her crossly and quickly informed her that we don't cut our own hair, EVER! I was a little preplexed because I didn't see any scissors . But as I continued to get on to her for cutting her hair she finally said, "Abby did it!" I looked at Abby and said, "is that true" Abby said no I didn't do it. I asked her two more times and then decided that the girl was lying to me. I told her she would not be going to Chuck E Cheese with her dad if she was lying.....to which she confessed quickly. She said Emily had something stuck in her hair, Emily says no she didn't. So who knows what possessed her to cut her sisters hair, but let's just hope it doesn't happen again.

THE BIG SLIDE

Thanksgiving is still a few weeks away and we are already hearing about "The Big Slide" as Abby calls it. Her favorite thing in the world is her PawPaw's "big slide" in Louisanna. She starts asking about when she will be able to go on the "big slide" and she doesn't stop talking about it until we get there. She is obessed with the slide. So just a few more weeks Abby and you'll be sliding down the "big slide" hopefully all bundled up in your coat and not in a pair of shorts!

Would they just hurry up and pick a President!

As we all know Olivia could keep me blogging on a minute by minute bases with all the things she says but who has time......and there is so much I usually forget when it comes time to write it down. But today when I picked her up from school she reminded me she didn't have school tomorrow. I said, "oh yea that's right....what are you going to do tomorrow"....... Watch the election! she said. Can I call Melissa and Allyson over to watch it with me! Who knew 2nd graders were excited about the election.....just the other day when she was riding in the car with me, while I was listening to talk radio she said, ...."would they just hurry up and pick a President!" What caused the sudden change in interest.......who knows?
