My Engish teacher gave us an observation project where we must pick something from nature--trees, birds, or a person and observe them day to day for 2 months. The day that Ms. Farias gave us the project, I knew I wanted to observe my niece, Olivia. Olivia is 1 year old and a lot will change with her in 2 months. She is my only niece and I dont know what could bring me more happiness than she can. I want to share my love for her with you guys because she is a big part of my life.

Monkey see, Monkey do
Being Olivia's uncle I feel the need to make her happy and give her whatever she wants no matter what. If my sister doesn't want to give her a cookie because she won't eat her food I'll come along and sneak her a cookie. Does that make me a bad influence? If that doesn't, then the fact that she says bad words because of me probably does. I know it's bad, but I just can't help it. Call me immature if you want, but I find babies saying bad words hilarious. Even if I didn't cuss around Olivia she would still pick up bad habits. This little girl is why they say "Monkey see, monkey do". Anything I do she will want to imitate and in a way I feel proud. I feel proud that she likes me enough to watch me and do as I do. I wish I could be the best role model for her, but I know that if I pretend to be someone I'm not then that's not helping her. I know Olivia will grow up to be a good little girl so I don't worry to much when she flicks me off. I just smile and do it back to her.

She looks up to you. They way she is behaving now will stick to her. Maybe you should start creating good habits for her so it's natural for her when she gets older.
