Talking and chores

Yesterday while Mommy was sewing, Olivia watched from the seat next to me. After whining and growing impatient, she had a realization, looked up at me, raised her eyebrows and said, "All done?" :) Her first two word sentence!
Tonight she plainly came up and asked, "Cookie?" She wanted some nature valley bar.
Today she also got paid for the first time for doing "chores". This may seem pre-mature, but she thinks it is a great game. First she took her clothes and put them in the washing machine, closed the door and after Mommy put the soap in she pushed the button. She then received a quarter and promptly ran in and put it in her piggy bank. The other "chores" were putting her blankets back on her bed, her shoes back in the basket, her toys away, and the magnets on the refrigerator. She earned all the change in my pocket, one coin after each chore adding up to $1.18. She LOVES the piggy bank her Uncle Andrew gave her, so she loves putting the coins in it!
Olivia also loves going into Starbucks, getting a milk from the case, handing it to the cashier, giving them the money and then recieving the change. :) She is SO adorable. My beautiful little girl!!!
