I think there is a song from Annie that says You're Never Fully Dressed without a Smile! Well no first of anything is complete with out a new outfit, hairdo, purse or something around here. Olivia is gifted with the DIY parents that we are - so her first day at school included a new outfit (of course). Only this outfit was more functional that normal. It included a letter from 'Olivia' to her teachers about what she likes and a translation of her sounds and peculiar movements. Like for example she will hit her belly with her hands when she wants to be picked up or if you cough she'll laugh. We kept it a big secret and dressed her in some overalls so the letter would be found by the teachers sometime during the day. Just a brief reminder she has people who love her and we'll get you if you hurt her... I also included some marks on the sleeves that said "I'm the new Kid" and "Its my FIRST day!" And one extra special message in a quirky place that pointed out Jon's favorite fact - "Diaper rash free - so far!!" I chose not to mention the wireless camera I had rigged up i and that she can text us on her own personal blackberry.
