While little miss is taking her afternoon nap, I decided to blog about our daughter mommy date today, before we head to Burbank to meet daddy for dinner. It's so cute that he wants to show us around! After Blake left for work this morning we did some quick cleaning and a load of laundry. Which is actually quite funny because Livy LOVES to help me do house chores. I give her a clean rag and she copies me when I start to wipe down the counters. Of course, because she can't reach she normally just does the floors or her toys. With laundry she HAS to put every piece of clothing in the washer. It can get tedious since she throws only one article of clothing at a time. Oh... And I can't forget she has to clap in joy/excitement in-between! She cracks me up!
We were supposed to have plans with one of my friends and her daughter (who is only two weeks older than Olivia) but unfortunately they canceled today. Which made today a perfect day to make into mommy and daughter bonding time. Right now there is a major heat wave and today reached 102 degrees! So I had to think of activities to do that wasn't outside. Which led to our paint session! I saw this on a website to put non-toxic paint in a zip lock bag and to tap it on the window. Which ended up to be great, not only because it kept Livy entertained for nearly an hour and half, but because there was no mess afterwards! Yay for mommy! For all you other moms I would give this a shot.
We did a spa day as well! I got a decent size Tupperware dish, filled it with soap and water, and soaked our feet. We have never pushed anything girly on Livy and trust me when I say she is a little diva already. She LOVE this type of stuff! Instantly she copied me and soaked her feet with mine. I took my little foot scrub brush and cleaned our feet. She laughed and clapped her hands. My little princess! After we dried our feet, I put some lotion on. I think this is her favorite part because she kept putting her feet on me pointing for me to rub her more. Like I said... Diva! This time we didn't paint our toes because we were running short on our time. We still had to make a stop at Barnes & Noble!
I'm happy to say that Livy is obsessed with books. Even with all the toys and dress up wear, she will always choose a book. This girl is so smart for a 15 month old toddler. You can tell her to grab the purple ball and she will grab that colored ball only. If you ask to get her brown horse and not the black one, same thing. I can even ask her to go in her toy box to grab a specific item. Maybe I'm being biased but how could I not be?! We spent a good 45 minutes at the book store. I'm so glad I don't work there! The mess that Livy made was unbelievable. She would pull a book off the shelf and sit and read. Once she was done she would repeat. I tried to keep up with putting the books back, but this girl was on a mission! All you have to say to her is that we are going to the book store today and she starts stomping her feet and jumping in excitement! She got two books total today and had to read her new animal book in the car. Half way home I realized she was way too quiet. She fell asleep with her book!!! I had to take a picture when we arrived home.
All of my chores are done, Olivia and I had a fun bonding day together and now we get to go explore Burbank with daddy. He found this high rating burger joint, I'm pretty excited after looking at the menu. How could I forget?!!!! Today we officially got approved for a home loan!!!! We have been talking to different lenders but this one specializes in VA Loans (we sign the papers on Monday). We won't make any offers until December when Blake is done with school (no need for extra stress). At least now we can find a Realtor that specializes in our loan and get the ball rolling! We are SO excited. Finally a permanent place where we can call home. To know we won't be moving for a long time is a big relief. We have moved over 10 times in the last 6 years! Ya... Insane! (Thank you military life...) Things are finally all coming together and all this hard work is paying off!
