Olivia

Back Up Next

This is my daughter, Olivia.  She is 4 years old, born on July 30, 2002.

Olivia was always a demanding baby -- crying a lot.  She had reflux and feeding problems from birth.  She is developmentally behind, but her speech is advanced -- saying a lot of phrases that you would not hear a four-year-old say.

She is the parrot in our house -- repeating everything.  Olivia has a fantastic memory for names and past places.  She adores all adults and can be very loving.  She loves music, but does not like a lot of sounds. 

She does not sleep a lot, for which she has melatonin.  She has severe constipation, for which she has meds.  Olivia has a very poor squint which will require surgery in the near future.  She has had two operations on her ears.

Olivia has just started school and she is well loved.  As a mother, she is hard work, but she is my unique child.  She lights my life up.  She's always happy, with a cheeky smile.
