Day 4: The smile!

We started the day slowly waking up in the morning sun...

Liv is slow to wake up. This morning she had her milk on the balcony with Mum. She is always a little disorientated wen she wakes up until she remembers where she is.

We met two little girls playing in the pool on our morning outing. They were very interesting for Olivia and we hope that she got some inspiration for the fun one can have in the pool.
Olivia got a new bucket and spade yesterday so she decided to give it a try at the pool before she takes the big step to go to the beach later next week - it is 200 m down the road.





TECHNICAL NOTE: You can see the films in full size by clicking on the little YouTube logo in the toolbar when you run the mouse over the emedded video here.

 Liv is getting pretty good at playing with the blocks. She is also getting pretty brave with sitting by herself without being in Mum's arms.

Thanks to Grandad and Grandma Liz for the lovely dress. It fitted perfectly.


After her nap Mum and Olivia draw a picture for Carl Emil and Laurits.  Olivia is very lucky to have two big cousins that are going to look after her in Denmark.
She is looking forward to meeting them.





Olivia seems to like things to be the way they "should be". When she drops rice on the table she gathers it into a neat pile. When she draws the crayons often get arranged neatly on the box. Here she has invented a game where the square-sided blocks go together and the round-sided blocks are kept separate. They are tested one at a time then accepted of rejected.



Olivia was really happy this afternoon. Each day we can see more of the real Olivia coming through.He we catch the first little smiles from our girl as she plays the banging the drum game with Mum. She is still a bit shy because I am standing on the other side of the room and she keeps looking over to me. It really is a lovely sight to see that she is showing us that she is happy.

    Hvor har I dog fået en fantastisk lille datter!Marinus og jeg har lige set nogle af jeres fine filmklip, og Olivia er da det mest bedårende. Det er skønt at måtte følge med i jeres eventyr - hver dag et nyt spændende afsnit til os herude og en uvurderlig dokumentation af jeres første tid sammen! Jeg takker for mange smil og livsbekræftende billeder og ord!

    Kære Rikke og Aaron
    Helt igennem fantastisk og utrolig rørende, at se jeres første lille tilknytning til Olivia. Hvor er i rolige og tålmodige begge 2, og hvor er hun bare en fantastisk og dygtig lille pige. Det ses tydelig fra dag til dag at hun ligeså langsomt tør op.......jeg er imponeret, både over dine moderevner Rikke, og over at du Aaron respektere Olivias "valg" af Rikke og holder dig lidt i baggrunden.
    Jeg er rørt til tårer og med positiv myrekryb helt ned i tærene.
    Mange tanker Joan
