The Party Continues

Olivia has been having a ball this week with her new toys from her birthday party. The very next day we had to blow up her new seal sprinkler.Even though mother nature had her own sprinklers going on and off all day Olivia kept her swimming suit on all morning to run around this cute seal.

Then she had another surprise. Her oldest cousin Scott stopped in to bring her card and some fruit snacks. Olivia thinks the world of Scott and last minute work schedules prevented him from getting to the party on Sunday. Olivia had thought he was coming and even though there were so many other people and some kids here she was disappointed that Scott didn't make it. A 4 year old doesn't understand when people have to work and she can lay on quite the guilt trip. Well, Scott has a huge heart and her disappointment must have gotten to him because he made a special trip out of his way to stop in for a visit with us on Monday. She was very surprised and caught off guard. It took her a little while to warm up (I think she still didn't understand why he wasn't here Sunday). But after she showed him her gifts and we looked at the pictures from Sunday she was back to her old self, flirting and showing off for him.

She is quite a character and really loves her Scotty. Personally I thought it was one of the most thoughtful things I have ever seen to have a young man in his 20's make time to visit with his youngest cousin because he couldn't make it to her birthday party. Thoughtfulness like that is very appreciated here and will not be forgotten. Thanks for coming Scott and we hope to see you again soon!!
