Things I say at least a dozen times a day

“Don’t do that to your sister.”

“Please stop stepping on my toes.”

“Put that in the closet/hamper.”

“That’s the third time I’ve asked you.”

“Please quit licking that.”

“I love you.”

“Knock it off right now!”

“Please be careful around your brother.”

“Could you walk like a normal person?”

Happy birthday, Olivia!

There’s a song by The National that includes the lyrics, “You know I dreamed about you for 29 years before I saw you,” and it makes me think of Olivia every single time I hear it. Today, my sweet little Livie turns five, and she’s even more amazing than I’d imagined.
