Monsters

Today Olivia was helping me in the kitchen. We were popping some popcorn to make caramel popcorn for a little get together I'm going to tonight. I got her a chair, wrapped an apron around her, and had her help me pour the popcorn into the popcorn popper. After it was done popping I turned my attention away from Olivia and focused on the caramel making at the stove. After a few minutes I turned back around to notice a coy smile on Liv's face and I also happened to notice that some of the popcorn was mysteriously gone. Liv looked at me and said simply "A monster ate it".

To tell you the truth, I think I believe her.

Ever since she was introduced to Jane Robot (press "m"), Liv has had a fascination with monsters. Occasionally for the dramatic affect, she will run behind my legs and hide exclaiming "Monsters!". Or whenever we hear a creak in the house upstairs, she will stop whatever she is doing, look at me, and once again exclaim "Monsters".

Its a cute phase.

That is so cute. Those funny little things they say are the best aren't they? Well, I have always thought that your kids look just like their daddy, but today I saw Jordan's little Abigail, and wow she looks just like your Olivia. And looking at Olivia's picture right there, I totally see you in her. You did good!
