There are times when I think you, Olivia Sofia Claire, are smarter than me. If I could see the world through your eyes I believe it would make all the difference. You are my first child and, there is nothing that I wouldn't do for you! I remember when you were born. You were born at 11:15 at night. My only night time baby. I stayed up for hours after you were born and just watched you sleep. I thought, this is my daughter. God gave me a complete portrait of perfection, one of the greatest gifts of all. I thought you were so beautiful with your big blue eyes and little bald head! It is so hard for me to believe you are starting the first grade this year! As my father (who isnt a sentimental man but, this always makes me smile) once said about me " That was the best thing I ever did". And you my precious daughter are! Theres times when the task is so hard that I'm about to break down that I look at you and your brother and sisters and I think to myself. " No matter what I still have the smartest, most beautiful, greatest kids on earth!" It blows my mind with some of the things you say. You went from this mellow, shy little baby to this sassy, headstrong little lady. And I cant believe it. You are and have been since you were born, my rock. The one person in this world that I know loves me no matter what. I love you to the moon and back Olivia. Today you told me that you didn't want to be a hyper kid and that you want to be beautiful like your friends. Well, Im here to tell you, you are more beautiful than your friends will ever be. I promise you that. There is none more beautiful, smarter, or even more talented than you. Please remember that when people try to bring you down. My mother never told me these kind of things. She never really had time. I am glad I can at least write on this blog and tell you how much I Love You and how much you complete me. I know Im in trouble when you become a teenager lol! I can just see that head strong attitude smacking me in the face repeatedly. Trust me it already does. You make me feel old, but in a good way. Olivia, you are my best friend (and yes I know this sounds really lame) but its the truth. I hope one day that you can look back at this and smile and know how you came into my life so unexpectedly and left a lasting footprint in my heart.
Your grandparents took you to Kings Island this week for the second time this summer. Apparently you and Adam were the comedy relief lol. You got on the bumper cars and fell asleep and that has to be the funniest thing I've ever heard! Grandma got it on video so expect me to embarrass you with it when youre older lol! Youre grandma says youre a little daredevil. She said you wanted to ride the big rides with Aunt Taylor but you were dismayed to find out you were too short to ride most of them. I am really glad you had fun and that grandma and grandpa took you again. They always take you everywhere with them I hate to say this but, I think youre their favorite lol. Its just me stating the obvious. You have always held a special bond with your grandpa. The night you were born he came in to see you and you were in the incubator crying and he touched your foot and you stopped and stared at him for the longest time! He wont admit it now but he had a tear, you instantly warmed his heart and hes been stuck like glue ever since! Now grandma trys not to play favorites but I know she does. Even if she wont admit to it. Shes a good lady. Trust her and let her help me guide you.
You are the first of four greatest achievements of mine.
