Animal Kingdom Day with Olivia

Today is the first time I have ever taken Olivia to a Disney park, just the two of us.  I have to admit, I was a little skeptical.  She is, afterall, a bit crazy.  But....she was an angel all day.

We walked around, rode a couple of rides, saw some animals, and even watched the Festival of the Lion King show...and she loved it...and she sat quietly for the whole thing.

Olivia: "The tiger likes my pants"  Lol!!!

Sometime big has dawned on me after today.  Olivia would have been a great first child.  She loves and craves one-on-one attention.  It is when she has to compete with her brother that she really goes crazy.  From this day on, I am going to make a bigger effort to make Olivia feel special and singled out.  She is special because of who SHE is, not because she is one of two children.  Olivia herself deserves undivided attention.  Will got that for three years.  Now, it is time for Olivia to get it.  So, from today until she is in school full time, when Will is in school, I am going to use that time to really make Olivia feel loved and special.  Because she is just that.
