Olive continues to learn new words and animal sounds. She loves her family and she repeats "Mama, Dada, Sisa!" over and over when we are all together. She can say Hannah, but likes to call her Sisa instead. Other favorite words are: no, mine, bye, and neigh. She says the beginnings of most words like ma for milk or ba for ball, so I can usually tell what she is talking about by context clues. She is interested in learning letters and will often point to them on my shirt or on signs. Olive can identify and say "o". Her favorite toy right now is a Little People barn and farm animal set from my childhood. Her favorite song is Row, Row, Row Your Boat and she even tries to sing it!
She is loving preschool now. When I drop her off she smiles, says bye, and waves. Her teacher usually has chalk or crayons out on the table and Olive gets right to work. She loves to scribble much more than Hannah did at her age. Her teacher says Olive is the best in the class at picking up after herself. They have also seen some of Olive's infamous lay-down protests when things aren't going her way!
