Olivia Jeanne


So... Olivia is now four! I am so thankful for her. I know Heavenly Father sent her to me as my first child for a specific reason. She is so willing to help me with her sisters, and loves them as they are her own. Its hard to comprehend that the mothering instinct is so naturally intact at such an early age. So many times before I can get to the scene of one of her sisters crying, she is hugging them and repeating "don't cry... mommy's here." Livie wants to wake her sisters up when they are napping just so they can play with her. The second she can hear them awake in their beds, she is chomping at the bit to be the first to open their door and come to their rescue from nap time. I really appreciate her help when it comes to finding Ava's blankie (frequently reported missing), or sorting the spoons and forks in the dishwasher. Here are some tid bits I want to remember to tell her when she grows up:

When Livie was 4:

Favorite color: hands down pink.
Absolutely loves: to color and learn new things (especially practicing letters and words),going to the park, camping at the beach, daddy's song, aj's song, shopping, dance class and eating "egg in a holes" with daddy.
Favorite Food: pancakes with peanut butter and syrup, chocolate milk.
Wants: to go to Las Vegas on an airplane to visit our family, to go to Disneyland with Grandma Jeanne, to make jewelry with Grandma Di, and Hawaii with daddy and mommy.
Does not like to: clean her room, eat her dinner (most of the time), wear clothing.

Time is flying by so fast, and I love having her so close to me and watching her grow.
