"Olivia ,did you say goodnight to Daddy?'
"Not ,yet"
"Could you do it plaese?"
"I sure will do" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ( I don't even use this form yet:-)))

Weekend

Reha was telling to story to Olivia at the dining table .Suddenly she said something like " hgf.kjnz het out of my head"
We( Reha and I ) looked at each other and asked her to repeat it again.
She again said the same word that we couldn't get .When we asked her to repeat again she goes:

"ANYWAY,Daddy please talk about the rest of the story" :-))))

First time she used ANYWAY .!!!


Today

In Kidsville she played with her teacher's doughter only .Olivia loved her (10 years old) .Time to time I wathed Olivia holding holding her hand .I wonder what was she telling her :-))))

• GROWING

We are growing tomato plants in pots .Olivia calls them "Plantzilla"based on on of her favorite book:-)) She is having hard time "NOT TO TOUCH THEM" tough:-))

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

• FEELINGS

On our way to the campus for Olivia's class, we are generally listening to classical music in the car .She loves it .But sometimes she wants to listen 88.3 .She is asking "Is this Jazz Music" If I say "No" She goes"I want jazz music"and she smiles when I switch it .


This morning while listening to the classical one she suddenly became very quite. After a while she sad"Mommy this music makes me feel sad" :-(((( .I noticed that it was really touchy one.





--------------------





At night after our reading over she asked me if it is morning or evening ? I said it is evening.


After a moment of a silence and thinking she said"Mommy evenings are sad,mornings are happy"





:-))))



-------------------------------------------------

• MAKING

Tie die shirt ---- Mommy and Olivia made it together!!

O LOVE THIS PICTURE!!!

O LOVE THE WAY SHE IS SLEEPING ON THE QUILT .
IT REMINDS ME THE BOOK THAT I RED YEARS AGO ABOUT
"HOW TO FIND YOUR PLACE "
OLIVIA HAD FOUND THIS PLACE FOR NAPPING AFTER A LONG PLAYING ,JUMPING ON THE BED.





The pillow-couchon under her had . It has been started by my mom as a blanket for me but never finished.I took it from home after my mom passed away and brought it here.Then decided to cover this one to be used in Olivia's room .Olivia named it LOG"after Winnie de Pooh's log, in hundred acre wood.
She is sitting on it while I am putting her socks on.
She is reading on it.
Using it for pretend dentist chair.SHE LOVES IT.
I am sitting on it and singing for Olivia before she is sleeping.
Sometimes Reha and I sitting on it and watching her while sleeping at night.
I have mixed feelings about this photo .I feel sad and proud at the same time.
Olivia's face on that knitted pieces that I saw many times on my MOM's hands.
I feel as if my mom's hads are on Olivia's hair and petting .
I wish she could have done that.

Life is going on...

Weekend:
While Olivia has been working on spreading cream cheese on her bread Reha offered help "Can I do it Olivia?" Her respond was "NO,THIS HAS TO BE DONE BY ME":-))))

------------------------------------------------

Today:
After we were back from the school I am cooking rice for lunch and Olivia took her place at the table and keep asking me talk about Christopher Robin which means she wants me tell her a story about him that I am usually doing well I guess. I was so tired and said"Olivia ,why don't you talk about him so that I can listen this time" while cleaning the counter top.She was silent for a while and expecting she is thinking how to start .Then she said this heart warming explanation:
Mommy, I don't have enough idea talk about him" :-)))

Isn't is very rational?

What did I do? Of course started right away like" CR woke up early in the morning " :-))



-----------------------
In the afternoon"

"Mommy ,since I don't have runny nose( that she has :-)) and still want to swim ,let's go to swimming pool?"

------------------------------------

Yesterday was the last day of Oli's class.They had so much fun.
Anish-Olivia -Sachi.Such a diversity !!!!!!

------------------------

Olivia woke up midnight yesterday night crying .She was really unconfortable.Brought her to our bed but she couldn't go back to sleep for a while.
In the morning today woke up sneezing,runny nose and little fever.She played all day long but time to time got her planket ans laid down on the sofa too.
Didn't want to eat much. Shw wanted to be nursed more often.Hope will be better tomorrow.

This afternoon when playing with Reha Olivia turned to me and suddenly said
I like Istanbul Mommy.I like Dilek's house in Istanbul.I missed her.I missed Dilek a lot.

We went to swimming pool before the lunch time.We have been going there regularly for couple of weeks.Olivia is floating very well with her arm floaters .Today when I dived she said"I want to do the same being upside down too." She tried by holding her nose:-)
She is trying to lay down and good ad pushing herself forward when she wants to reach somewhere. She is eating good and sleeping well after swimming.

She is nursing very aggressively in the morning and the nap times.I think because of cutting off nighttime.On Sunday she has been nursed 1:30 hour in the morning :-))
She is not ready yet for weaning completely yet.
Tomorrow is the last day of the class and there is potluck .I baked chocolate & zucchini cake.
Olivia sow it and said"is it for the class? Yum -yum"

My new camera arrived.I need to read and load it right away:-))

Planning to take beautiful summer pictures.

I went to Olivia's room after she felt asleep.I sat down and watched her for a while.Kissed her and took her pillow off toughed it was too hot( many times she is sleeping without).She woke up and asked for her pillow back. I kissed her again.She opened her eyes 3 times staring me.I kept looking at her eyes then I said I love you and kissed her.She said I love you too and turned back for sleeping.

Yesterday she told me " You love all the kids ,You hold them kiss them but you are not bringing them back home-only me??"
I said: No because they are not my daughter ,you are my daughter and they have their mommies to take them home.

Reha and I planning to adopt another child I wondered if she would reject the idea?

One day I am planning ton write my breastfeeding story.
One day I am planning to write my story of "having Olivia "

I think I am not ready yet to stop breast feeding either.It is hard to leave this intimacy.

While I was working ,met a lady who has 4 grown up kids .She told me that she had severe depression after weaning off her kids.

I couldn't understood her back then .Now I do.
