Olive the Artist

As you can see we are exploring Olive's artistic side as of late. Today we did some chalk art on Olive's new easel. She normally favors marking pens over chalk and crayons, but made an exception today. You'll also notice she is wearing her 'dusting gloves' from her Dirt Devil play set. Ya gotta love a kid who loves to clean. In addition to her tu-tu, she is using her drum as a seat.

Olive the Rock Star

Olive has started a music class here at the Canyon. There is lots of singing and dancing and clapping. Her favorite part of class, though, is playing the instruments. In fact, I think she thinks its a drum class. This has prompted Daddy to bring out his guitar so that we can bring music class home. Olive has enjoyed watching Daddy strum and has started to ask to strum a bit on her own. Look out Sheryl Crow!

Sad...

Pouting...

Surprised...

More Pouting...

How Olive rolls

Lately, Olive doesn't like leaving the house without her cool sunglasses.

Messes

As you can see Olive likes to make them and clean them up.
