I often ask Olivia to stop growing and to stay five (or whatever age she is at the time) forever! She always responds with, “Mom, I can’t help it…I just keep growing and growing!” At random points in the day, I’ll catch myself looking at her precious face and feel a little sad…she is growing up too fast…her face is thinner, her legs are leaner, her words are bigger, her thoughts are greater, and her questions are harder….I hope I can keep up with this little one. I love her so…
