Take a deep breath child!!

Self control is evidently not a word we use often in our house.

I mean, we impress it upon the important things, sure, like cocaine, alcohol, and yelling. With these, moderation is obviously key around here. But evidently we neglected to engrave in Olivia's little 3 year old mind that moderation is also key with something like, say, a GIANT ice cream sundae. Time and care should be spent consuming such a delicacy, making sure you enjoy every single chocolate and caramel covered creamy bite.

We were surprised after Livie's birthday lunch to see that the restaraunt we went to would acknowledge her special day, by bringing her one of these delicious bowls of heaven, free of charge.

Notice I did NOT say 'dish'. It was a bowl. A massive bowl. For a three year old.

Luckily our sweet waitress must have noticed I was a little round in the midsection, and realizing I would probably have wreaked havoc upon the restaurant had she not brought ME a spoon too, she brought us each one. Bless her food serving heart.


Miss Olivia was in a prime mood this day. She had us ROLLING, she was SO funny. I'm amazed at how such a little being can already have such an amazing sense of humor. She really does enjoy getting a good chuckle out of her mom and dad.

Now let me explain something-we have noticed a definite girly-girl side coming out especially lately. Getting dirty-NOT on the agenda for her. If she sees a package of wipes, she is ALL over them, using them to clean any and everything in her sight-from the tv to her shoes, to Daddy's stinky feet. She's a giver, thats for sure.

Well, as soon as that Sundae was placed on our table, her eyes gave off a little mischievous glint and she threw caution into the wind. Case in point:


She SHOWED that sundae what was up. And made her sundae-lovin' mama super proud in the mean time. Thats my girl.
