Who's the Boss?

"Hey, turn that down! I can't even hear myself think!"
"Sorry, Liv."

It's difficult to tell who's in charge sometimes.

Take Your Time

"Liv, Liv. You don't have to sip the medicine. Drink it quick. Like a shot."
"What's a shot?"
".....just...  go ahead and finish it up."

Good At Your Job

"Dad, you're good at your job."
"What's my job?"
"Everything. You do everything."
"Oh. Thanks baby."
"You're a good daddy to me."

Sometimes she just knows what to say.

I'm Full

After eating most of her lunch, Olivia says, "Daddy, I'm full."
"OK."
"Can I have a ice pop?"
"No, you just said you were full."
"No, I mean I was full of healthy stuff."

Getting An Answer

"Daddy, can I paint?"
"Hang on."
"Daddy. Daddy."
"Liv, you gotta wait. I'm in the middle of something."
"But I need an answer right now."
"Well then the answer is 'No'."
"I can wait."

Watching My Words

I woke up this morning and thought I'd finish watching "Taken 2" from Netflix. With 35 minutes left in the movie, Olivia wakes up. So I turned the movie off. 
She says, "Why did you stop watching it?"
"It has a lot of fighting and bad words, and I don't want you to watch that."
"It's not for kids?"
"No. It's an adult.... I mean... 'grown up' movie."

It's funny how one word can make a huge difference.

Progress Report

Earlier this week, Olivia brought home another perfect progress report. We were so proud.
The next day, I asked her what she had learned in school that day. She started doing the 'robot'.
I guess that will be on the next progress report.
