The Middle One

Oliver is my middle child, he is my tender shoot. This little guy is indescribable. He is completely, utterly unique and special. I have been thinking lately some ways that he is so special to us.

He makes an excellent little brother to his big brother, the best wingman a kid could ask for. He always cheers his older brother on at every activity, he is eager to share his latest lego creation with him and follows his oldest brothers advice to a fault. Oliver can get rambunctious and hold his own when he wrestles with the oldest. They are best pals.

In different ways he is the perfect big brother to our 2 year old. He is always very careful with him, is quick to let any of us know if we aren’t “being fair” to the littlest, he quickly defends the baby of the family. He is always ready to hold his hand and guide him in the right direction, he is very sweet to him.

Oliver also has a cousin that is only 3 months younger than him, Adam is his best friend. They get along great and love to play together. They have the best conversations.

It’s great to see how he fits into the family and is something special to each of us for different reasons. He is a true gift from God, a blessing.

I love this little guy so unique, so sweet, so funny, so tender, my dearest Oliver. I love you!
