Brunette

Olivia is getting more and more hair every week! It is getting darker. I remember those little blonde hairs when she was born!

Lesson learned.





It was the night after the revolution and we had evacuated our apartment and were staying at Lauren and Nelson's. We were doing our best to not be terrified in front of our baby. Olivia was giddy and laughing galore. It was her bedtime, and while I was getting the room ready, it was Daddy's job to watch Olivia and wind her down for bedtime. I bit my tongue about my definition of "winding down" and just let him do his Dad thing that he does. While the revolution created a heightened awareness of things, this lesson was learned that very day..."Daddy does things differently than Mommy...and that is just fine!" In fact, Olivia went to sleep very well that night. She was all giggled out. She had some fun with Dad playing and her chubby little cheeks stretched to new lengths that night. And, so did mine. What a good day that was, I recall.
