Five on Friday

1. I forgot to mention that on Olivia's actual birthday, I picked her up from daycare early and we went to Starbucks and shared a cake pop. Olivia thought it was the shiz. So, to avoid a meltdown, when she dropped the whole thing on the ground, I picked it back up and gave it right back to her. Mom of the year.

2. The day after her birthday, she had her one year doctor appointment and had to get shots. Chicka was pissed. So pissed. On the way home, she started falling asleep when Taylor Swift's "Shake It Off" came on (her fav song). She opened her eyes big, threw her hands in the air and yelled as if saying "don't change it, this is my jam!" She waved her hands around, fist pumped, and danced the rest of the way home. 

3. A few days later, I received a text from Dan that was a link to the 'Shake it off' music video on youtube. Turns out, Olivia had somehow texted me that from Dan's phone. Girl clearly has a favorite song.

4. In other news, we finally hit the point where we can't eat candy/cookies in front of Olivia. I mean, I knew this day was coming. I knew it was part of being a mother. I planned for it. But it is still very hard coping now that it is actually here. The old days are gone, and my future includes shoving fistfulls of M&Ms in my face when she isn't looking, chewing when she turns her head, and binge eating candy at nap and bedtime. Moms - you guys have been there. Tell me I'll adjust to the new normal.

5. Hocus Pocus is set to DVR tomorrow on ABCFam. The following week, we're having people over to play the Hocus Pocus Drinking Game. Who's joining? (I also just found out this year that the cat's actual name is Thackary, not Zachary - it was a thing way back when. Maybe it'll be in the running for the next baby). 

Target dollar section glow in the dark koozies. Perfect accessory for the drinking game.
