Trophy Day

I want to start out by saying THANK YOU to everyone leaving comments, it makes me want to write more!!

Monday night was the cheer leading banquet. I didn't quite know what to expect being we had never done this before. It was a nice time, Logan stayed with grandpa, Rich had a meeting, so I pretty much vegetated for 2 1/2hrs.!! Funny how many people you start to know when you child is involved with school. They got trophies! They got trophies for participating in cheer. Now I don't know about you, but when I was in school, you got a trophy when you WON (placed) in your activity??! Ok, I understand the theory of everyone gets a trophy, but really, what happens when you actually win 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place? Doesn't that take the air right out of your balloon, cause you already have 4 others at home? Don't get me wrong, Olivia loves it, but I am just not sure about this whole theory. You should have seen the age group older than Olivia, you should have seen the size of the trophies, I was amazed.

Ok, I will get off my soap box.........Logan has been chatting lately and some of it makes sense! He will repeat you now (to a extent), you have to hear him say Olivia! It's priceless, but you can understand what he is saying. Now, he won't say Mom as often as i feel he should, but he will say Olivia, do you see the conspiracy here? He recognizes the dogs, when he says dog, and bath when the water is running, so that has been really cool to see him develop like that. I am so proud of him every time he does something, he has had to try so much harder than other babies!!
Ok, well I'm off to eBay some more items, it's like a small business here with selling clothes, etc. Tis the season!!!................
Olivia and her bestest friend Amanda.
