in Olivia's words...

All words that have came from Olivia's mouth the past few weeks.....quoted word for word (I write them down as they happen because they make me laugh so much!)

O: Mommy, you are so sweet to give me a drink of your water.

O: Mommy, you have a brother and his name is Baby Levi.  And your mommy's name is Dora.  Your daddy's name is Andy.

O: Mommy, we need to clean up this mess!
OR
O: Mommy, who made this mess? 

Daddy: Hi, Olivia.  Are you cooking in your kitchen?
O: No, I'm just over here pooping!

O:  Mama, I have to go poop.
Me: Okay, let's try and go in the potty.
O: Nah, how about we try and go in my diaper.

Me: Olivia, I washed your red bappy for you.
O: So it doesn't stink anymore? (it had milk spilled on it)
Me: Nope, its fresh and clean now!
O: -runs and hugs my leg "You are such a great mommy!"

O: Mommy, are you wearing a dress?
Me: Yes, I am wearing it for my date with Daddy tonight.
O: Make it spin, Mommy!  Twirl around so I can see it spin!
--I twirl around the bedroom--
O: Wow, Mommy, that was so beautiful! 
haha....her measuring stick for "beauty" is all about whether a dress can twirl or not!

Me: Night-night Olivia.  I love you.
O: Night-night, Mommy.  I'm won't be scared tonight.  I know that God is with me. 
---this seriously brought tears to my eyes!  My prayers of her knowing and feeling God's love are being answered!--

--Carter was crying in the other room and Olivia stops what she is doing and hollers:
O: Carter I'm coming, sweet boy!  No crying!  Olivia is coming!  --arrives by his side. "No more tears, Carter.  Olivia is here.  Why are you sad?"

Oh Stephanie, when you are 80+ you will still treasure the journal memories you are making of your beautiful children's lives. Thanks for the smiles you give me by sharing these snippets of their day:)
