The Crying Bag

At times Olivia can be a little...dramatic.  If we don't understand what she says, tell her "no" to something she wants, if Paul breathes in her direction, or the day of the week ends in "day"... All these little things and many more can set her off.  She turns into a big puddle of tears and cannot be consoled. 

For her 2nd birthday Grandma Dawn got her a princess sleeping bag of her very own.  We set it up in a corner of the toy room and whenever Olivia is feeling a little overwhelmed by her world and surroundings we direct her to the "Crying Bag".  She happily obliges and wails her way over to her comfort zone.  Paul's not allowed to bother Olivia in this safe zone.  She spends a few minutes crying, composing herself, and returns to us the happy, adorable little girl that she is.  Most who watch the dramatic scene have a hard time controlling our laughter.  It's just so cute how she collapses face first into her special place.  Just what a little girl needs...
