You are bright, funny, kind, and beautiful. You love with your whole heart, you jump into everything you are doing with both feet and complete gusto. You are passionate. This means that sometimes you get quite discouraged when you assume that the task at hand will come easy to you and then you find it is a bit challenging. I have watched in the last few months how you have been learning to take it all in stride and keep working at it. Right now you are in soccer, ballet and floor hockey. You love to be busy, and you work hard to learn what you are supposed to. I can't wait to watch you grow and see what you decide to stick with. I hope we are able to continue to provide you with the opportunity to try anything you want to. You are independent. Not once in five years have you clung to my leg or hid behind me; you are always running ahead at full speed, ready to make new friends, see new places and have the next grand adventure.
You are so kind to your baby sister. When she cries, you share. When she falls, you pick her up. When she is in harms way, you look out for her. I saw you once take something out of her hands and she started to cry....from a distance I only saw the act of swiping, and I said, " Olivia what did you take away from Sissie?" I am humbled when you say, " Mom she had this marble, she was going to choke". You are so young, yet I trust you. You won't let her go near the oven, or the stairs. You help her if she is struggling to get on the couch, or open a toy. You read to her, you laugh with her and play chase, roll the ball. You are so patient. I can not thank you enough for how much you help me.
I love you so much sweet Olivia. I can not wait to celebrate your Birthday with you tomorrow. This year Daddy is out of town for work. Nana and Papa are coming in the morning so that I can take you to school and celebrate with your class. You choose Oreos as your treat, and I made a favor for your classmates. We are going to have a birthday lunch with family when we get home from school. Daddy misses you terribly, but will be home for Valentines day and we're having a BIG soccer party for you and your friends on Friday. I will hug you and kiss you all day long. I will gaze at you in amazement that its been five years. I LOVE Birthdays, you and your sister are my greatest gifts, why would I not want to make it a big deal? So my love, I baked your unicorn cake as requested, I have blown up balloons and hung streamers, and will bring you breakfast in bed. I can't wait to see those eyes light up and kiss your dimpled cheeks. I am so lucky to have you in my life and I will never forget it. You are my blessing and I hope you feel that kind of love every day, but especially on your Birthday, I hope FIVE is good to you. You deserve all the best.
love you to the moon and back xoxo
you fill me up
