Olivia, Our Little Lady

Liv seems to be growing up right before our very eyes. She has a new song she wrote, called "realize" and mostly it consists of her singing "you just have to realize" over and over. But sometimes she'll add to it: "you just have to realize...that you have to hold someones hand crossing the street" and other various safety tips. The best part is how she sings it - as if she is a former member of Kids Incorporated.

Today is show and tell at preschool. Olivia brought her red nameplate. Steve dropped her off and saw all of the girls with their Barbies and Dora dolls - one girl asked Liv: "what IS that?" and Olivia was so proud to show her. It was also their superbowl party, and the kids were to wear jeans and a sports jersey. You would have thought we suggested that Olivia wear only underwear. She was appalled at the thought of jeans, and wore a skirt and tights.
