slow down

last night when i was tucking olivia into bed

she showed me what she had been working on in her journal.

there were several paragraphs about her family...

"my brothers are so annoying"

"josie is so sweet"

"i'm the oldest cousin"

she listed all her cousins and made a point to leave LOTS of extra space

for any new cousins that might arrive - ha ha :)

the page she was most proud of, though, was a sketch...

a sketch of how she wanted to organize her college dorm room.

dear olivia -

you are a dreamer & a planner!

i love you for that.

but in the words of the simon & garfunkel,

slow down, you move to fast.

you got to make the morning last.

stay young for just a little bit longer, baby girl :)
