Three is a charm!

Dear Olyvia,

Happy Birthday my sweet girl!

How lucky can one Mommy get? It saddens me that you will not remember your personality or the type of toddler you were when you get older. This is one reason I blog just about every milestone of your life. I want you to see what those who love you had the pleasure of watching through the years. This past year you have grown into a tender, sweet loving toddler. Let me begin by telling you a little bit about your best friend. She is your sister, Emsley. One day, sooner then later, I fear you may laugh at this but it is true. Over the past year the two of you play so well together, you laugh throughout the day and you are sad when she is not around. You are consistently ensuring her safety and well being when out with friends, and the kisses and hugs you offer to her, well you can witness that for yourself in photos. Every morning you say "Good morning Emma" and you give her a kiss. I love this start of my day, it makes me see that I am doing something right..you both understand and feel "LOVE"...
Moving on to your personality...you are one of the most out going children I see on the playground. Reserved at times if I am not around, but when you feel safe...you shine. Your smile lights up a room and your excitement makes everyone around you feel your energy. You are happy, so very happy. Just today I was in the kitchen making dinner and I heard you laughing at your favorite part in "Tinker Bell"...You love to laugh, and what a sweet laugh it is. You are kind, and you are a lover.You tell me "I love you more Mommy" every day, maybe twenty five times a day and I love it..When you are in trouble you know how to make me forget what was wrong, as soon as I say "Olyvia Grace", you say, I LOVE YOU...
Your favorite thing to do this year is play games. The fishing game and Elefun is played multiple times throughout the day. You also love to play "sticky", do arts and crafts and go to gymnastics every Sunday.
When I tell you that you melt my heart every second of every day, I mean that. Not one day goes by that I do not thank God for sending me such an Angel. You and your sister are the reason I get up every morning, the reason I work every day and the reason I smile every evening before I go to bed.
You are three today my love, and I am so excited to see what wonderful and amazing things you learn and do this year!
I love you!
