Abc's, Dude, Happy

Finally a movie where Olivia helps me sing the ABC's... and the "Dude Song," and the "Happy Song." Singing in the tub sounds as good as singing in the shower, or so goes Olive. [ Small (1.3 MB) Large (5.4 MB)]

Olive Says

Olivia says a bunch of stuff on her own. She also parrots you. This movie has Olivia indulging me for a few precious seconds. Rock and Roll! [ Small (1.2 MB) Large (3.5 MB)]

ABC Takes

I tried and tried and tried to get Olive singing the ABC's. I got some of them, and a few other cute bits. Consier these out takes and bloopers. [ Small (2.4 MB) Large (7.4 MB)]

Cuckoo for Choo Choos

A recent craze that has escaped documentation: trains. Olivia loves them! We hear lots of BART trains passing our house, and we can also hear the freight train whistles from down by the Bay... with each of these, O. stops what ever she's doing, looks up at us and says "Choo choo?" This is nice confirmation of good hearing! The auditory obsession has turned into a love of books about trains, and TV shows about trains. Thomas the Tank Engine is just about the only thing she wants to see when she's under the weather. T. Jay will be taking O. on some train watching excursions in the near future, which are sure to awe and inspire the girl.
