Our little actress

Olivia is our little drama queen. Sometimes in not-so-good ways, but often times it's really fun to watch this part of her personality develop. She has always had this amazing memory and of course flair for the dramatic, and her new favorite thing to do is act out scenes from her favorite books and movies. Seriously people, I'm talking word for word, scenes that will last several minutes.

I happened to capture Snow White yesterday just after she ate a poison apple, and was awaiting Prince Owen to kiss her.

I've been looking for several months now for some sort of age-appropriate introduction to theater for her, and through a friend of a friend, happened upon a Young Reader's Theater class for preschoolers. Today was her first day and she loved it!

I sat in on the class today and was just thrilled to see Olivia in her element! :) Adam and I have really been trying to think of activities that will help to nurture and mold these special parts of our daughter's personality and temperament, (or as Adam says- "to help her use her powers for good,") and we are kind of thinking theater... or maybe sports, for that energy level of hers. Though as Aunt Jess pointed out the other day, we may have to find a sport that doesn't require much grace (Liv's pretty clumsy). Ironically, her name was almost Grace, which would have been hilarious!!
