I can’t believe my girl is 4 years old. This year flew by so quickly and Olivia has changed so much. I don’t know how to explain it except that she is such a big girl now. She can do so many things for herself now and she takes a lot of pride in being able to accomplish things with little or no help. She still pretends most of the time and has recently taken in a lot of orphan friends, animals and unicorns. The level of thought she puts into her pretend play is incredible and I hope she can hold on to this as grows up. She loves books and can recognize all of her letters. We do lessons a few times a week to connect the letter sounds to the letters and she loves this time. She has learned A, B, H, G, S, T and P. We have also worked with blending them and she can now (with some effort) read many words including; hat, taps, sat, pam, bat, etc. She read through two early books the other day and the excitement was totally unreal. She still loves music and makes up new songs everyday. She also loves to create and can work on an art project for hours at a time.
I love the sweetness that is this girl. She takes good care of all of us, always willing to give mom and dad a back rub or grab a diaper for Daniel when he needs it. She is eager to learn and eager to play and always ready to try new things. She is a good sister, a good cousin and a wonderful daughter.
Happy Birthday Princess. We love you more than you’ll ever know.
