The essence of who you are

Dear Olivia,

I have been writing about you since before you were born, but I felt that it was time that I started writing letters to you on your very own personal blog, so that when the time comes to share all of these moments with you it will be easy to find and print. 

Olivia, you are now three and a half years old.  You are a bright, happy, social, caring, and perceptive child.  You don't miss a beat.  Olivia, you are very obedient.  You love a good laugh.  You enjoy dancing, pretend playing, telling stories, riding your bike and running through the sprinklers.  This is just to name a few. 

Three years has gone by extremely fast.  This is my attempt to really capture the essence of who you are.  You are so loving, forgiving, honest, and virtuous.  You listen, and obey.  You capture my attention. 

Your beauty inside and out is unmatched.  And more than anything I want you to know how much I love you.  You are my angel.  I am so very grateful to have you in my life.  What a gift and great blessing you are from our Heavenly Father.  How grateful I am to be the one to parent you.  Thank you for choosing our family despite the mistakes we make.  Thank you for the lessons you teach me that also help me in my own progression in this life.  So far your teachings have been priceless.  Thank you.

With love,
Mama
