Okay, yes, two blog posts in one day = Bonnie procrastinating with work. Today is MLK day and David didn't have to work, nor I, but silly me didn't know I had today off when I agreed to do a presentation/demo for a customer tomorrow, Tuesday! Just this last post and I will get back to work.
We had a wonderful rest of the day after my first video. David and I took Olivia & Higgins for a walk (what a treat to all as we don't often get to do this all together). Icing on the cake was that the day was beautiful & hot, so we decided
to walk to the neighboring park and let Liv play! We started the walk with Olivia bundled in her puffy jacket (the same one worn in Tahoe - which was 20 degrees colder!) and felt quite embarrassed to see our child so bundled compared to the t-shirt wearing children at the playground. So we finally took of the coat..haha.
In the evening we had the Park family over, the husband is a close friend of David from UCI (and one our groomsmen). We had a wonderful visit and Olivia got to play with Matteo (and was taught to share - or at least attempts were made by me!). We definitely won't have anything to worry about if this personality trait holds. She is not shy and is not afraid to stand up for herself or stake a claim in her things -- as you'll see in the video.
I caught part of this funny interaction during dessert when our young visitor was much obliging to his parents' request to give Liv kisses, and Liv obliged in return with no prompting...uh-oh.... But what I didn't upload was another video later where Liv still wanted to give kisses but the young lad would not have anything to do with it...double uh-oh...do we need to worry?!
Poor Higgins, on the other hand, did not fair as well tonight as he was scolded and put in time out several times for growling, barking and jumping up on people & child! Though it's a zero tolerance house for him, I do feel bad as Higgy was reacting to, and probably scared stiff from, being harassed and chased after by an enthusiastic, hyperactive, good-intentioned toddler boy...but still "no-no Higgy." In the beginning, he was great--very hyper and happy to see everyone. By end of night he just didn't want to be bothered, nor did he want to be approached.

All in all it was a great day.
Hats off to all those who fought for their rights and rights of others.
Thank you for your inspiration Dr. King.
