    Dear Olivia, Wooooooooot – holla at you – it’s your birthday!  So, last month I had the dilemma planning how we would celebrate your birthday.  Our original plan was a trip to Southern California to make our yearly visit to Disneyland but when plans changed, I was suddenly faced with a birthday rapidly approaching and…

    Dear Miles, What do you do when you are startled out of bed in the wee hours of the morning by a screaming toddler – a toddler who knows only one volume when they speak?  When I walk in to the bedroom, I discover a boy with disheveled hair, big bright eyes, and very soiled…

    Dear Olivia, Why must bedtime be such a production?  I know kids despise bed and they pull out every stop to prolong the inevitable but my goodness, I am spent when I finally get you down.  7:30 rolls around and I know the major hurdle of the day is upon me and I muster up…

    Dear Miles, I’m sorry to inform you but Olivia has turned you in to her very own life size doll.  You are at that right age where you’re gullible enough to do what ever she says and still small enough that when you don’t want to do something she tells you to do, she’s still…

    Dear Olivia, When I first heard from the Doctor that you were a girl, every girl cliche popped in my head and I was filled with fear from the very first second.  Perhaps this is the real reason I didn’t want to know your sex while I was pregnant – the sheer fear of knowing…

    Dear Miles, You are proving to be the quintessential boy.  Everything I feared about boys is so far coming true – you’re loud, messy, a cyclone of terror and destruction and I’m quite certain that you are determined to injure every part of your body a dozen times over in the course of your lifetime. …

    Dear Olivia, Have I told you how much you love drama?  I’m pretty sure I have but I think it’s something worth mentioning again.  You don’t just love movies, you love to memorize the dialogue and then reenact the scenes in the bathroom mirror or while we’re out running errands.  My personal favorite is a…

    Dear Miles, My perfect record as a parent ended quite some time ago but what really solidified the demise of my record was you breaking your leg.  Not only did you break your leg, you did it while sitting on my lap.  We were at the park and I was trying desperately to hold an…

    Dear Olivia, I was informed by your swim teacher that she thinks you may be bored.  I can’t say I didn’t see this coming but hearing the words totally bummed me out.  You have loved swimming for so long and I feared that one day you would have had enough and want to stop.  I…
