My daughter is growing up. Kids do that I suppose, but really, today I was just taken back by how much she's grown up. We have started potty training, she's saying please and thank you without being reminded, she takes her food to her table and sits down while eating, puts her dishes away in the sink when she's done, washes her hands, puts on her shoes, brushes her teeth, says 'I love you' before bed, and is forming her words more clearly by the minute. I'm left wondering when the heck all of this happened!? She is a beautiful, happy, determined, smart, and loving little girl, and I tell her at least 5 times a day how proud she makes me. Today I realized that I didn't have any photos to document how she is in this moment in time, the real her, right now. I took my camera out this afternoon as we headed out after nap for our usual playtime.... and even though she wasn't in the smiliest of moods this afternoon, I'm happy with what I got because THIS is my Olivia. My Liv. The nickname, Liv, is so appropriate for her because that's what this little lady does... she lives. She has so much beauty, energy, and life inside her already, and the world better be ready for this one. When she's ready, she's going to be a force to be reckoned with!
I love you, my little Liv!!! <3
