Happy Mother's Day


I am a very fortunate Daddy and husband.
I can't explain why Olivia would be wearing a poison control phone number sticker, other than it is a sticker?
Photo from March, but the kids are all so mobile now that I can't get these four together very often.

Fraternal Love


This is probably the best photodocument of how Olivia interacts with her infant siblings right now.
She gets a teeth-clenching grin on her face and shakes her head slightly as she goes in for what appears to be an intense hug around the neck. It ends up being not as severe as it started out, and the kids don't seem to mind her hugs, though they tend to push her away a bit when she comes at them like this. I don't know if she is just trying to control herself rather than tussle with them, as she would a more durable school friend?

Sleeping Beauty


She would really like the reference from the title - Olivia inhales Princesses right now, and has for about the last 6 months. We catch up to her as she has taken to sneaking into Mom and Dad's room occasionally, when she's supposed to be in bed. Kind of hard to be mad at her when seeing this. And her current and instinctive challenging of her parents means we can use all the mercy-inducing thoughts of her we can find. This meets the criteria.
