Forever Olivia has said “O-Iggy-Uh” when referring to herself (well, she doesn’t talk in 3rd person, but when she tells someone her name, that’s how she says it). Then about a week ago, she started saying “Olivia.”

“Listen mommy,” she would say to me. “O-livia” She would pronounce the last part slowly, her eyes on me to be sure I was paying attention.

“Good job, you said ‘Olivia’”

But I still called her my “O-Iggy-Uh.”

Then today–

“No, mommy, I not O-Iggy-Uh. I O-livia.”

I stand corrected.

I will miss O-Iggy-Uh.
