At times we call Olivia, "O". And Olivia is our baby. Those two facts are crucial to the story.
The other day Caitlin asked me to turn on the Olivia song (she doesn't quite understand radio or television schedules yet nor do we have one of those new fangled iPod thingys) and I had no clue what she meant.
I started singing our Olivia chant. (What? You don't have a chant for your baby?) "No mom, this one" and Caitlin struck out with this, "Baby, baby, baby O, baby, baby, baby, baby O, baby." This went on for about 4 minutes with Audge joining in- It sort of sounded like a Bieber round, as Audge did not really know the words but is a great mimic with about a 10 secong lag. Olivia loved it.
Our typical routine is an evening bath, lotion, diapers, pajamas, and scriptures and prayer. It goes pretty smoothly because David does all the hard stuff. The other night I did the routine alone while David cut the grass. I bathed all three and then start lotioning Olivia and the girls were asked to find pajamas they wanted to wear. I finished Olivia's lotion and diaper and pajamas and start lotioning Caitlin. When Caitlin is done, I call for Audge. I stupidly said, "She couldn't have gotten too far, she's naked." Since when have social norms and mores stopped Audge? She was in the back yard swinging, wearing only a pacifier and a smile.
We watched a movie this morning that seemed like such an odd combination to me. It was the story of Pocahontas done in Japanimation. Huge eyes, ultra bushy hair, and either sharp angular bodies or short and excessively round ones- no average here. It struck me as odd.

Alessia and Matty sing that song to Dylan too. After reading the subject of your post I was happy to know that the three words were not all related to one incident!
