Little Big Girl

Because Olivia:
  • Has 2 younger siblings
  • Speaks very well, and constantly
  • Acts old and not kid-spazzy
  • Looks long and lanky rather than pudgy,
I often forget she is only four years old. And that she's a cute little girl. I guess it's easy to have your cuteness overlooked when you've got a new baby and a roly-poly toddler to compete with. But, in addition to being intelligent and creative and beautiful and helpful and thoughtful and talkative (oh, yes, always talkative)...Olivia really is very cute.

Here are some things she loves to do:
  • Make things out of fabric scraps
  • Talk about her owies
  • Color and cut paper
  • Read books
  • Write letters
  • Throw birthday parties for White Kitty
  • Play mommy to numerous babies and kitties
  • Help me do things
  • "Help" me do things
  • Go to preschool
  • Have piano lessons
  • Go to Primary
  • Sing songs
  • Paint
  • Hear songs and stories
  • Play on the iPad
  • Look for confetti and small plastic objects at the park
  • Tell Carmen what to do
I'll post a recent picture later (Damon just woke up). But this afternoon was nice - Damon and Carmen napped, and Olivia and I sewed things. It was nice to just hang out with my first baby, who isn't such a baby any more (but is still a little kid).

Sweet! I find I appreciate the one on one time more since I don't get it as often. Olivia sounds like a great big sister and wonderful oldest daughter. :) (Definitely need a picture!)
