She is growing up!

A little over a month ago, we were upstairs after waking up and Olivia grabbed her diabetes kit and headed downstairs. A few minutes later you hear Steve ask her what she is doing. She told us she was checking her blood sugar. WHAT??? You are! She has watched us a bazillion times but it never occurred to me to have her try it. She just did it without us knowing. Now she loves doing it and especially if someone new is around that hasn't seen her do it yet. Such a big girl and she is so proud of herself. I knew this day would come, just didn't think it would happen until she was older.

Poking her finger. Notice her tongue sticking out in concentration.

Looking at the number, with her trusty sidekick by her side for support.
