THREE

My baby is growing up! And too fast might I add. I swear that just yesterday day she was my little rollie pollie toddler and now she is a little girl! Yesterday was Addie's third birthday and oh my was this a long day coming in her eyes. We only talked about her birthday every single day for the past three months! To celebrate her birthday we had a little carnival birthday party (pictures to come later). Once again, I got one of my grand ideas and the party turned into a living breathing monster. Tom says that if I ever want to do anything like this again I can feel free to do it but to leave him out of it! No seriously, that is almost exactly what he said. But despite the fact that I ended up spending way more on the party than if I would have given Addie every toy she said she wanted for her birthday, it was a huge hit and everybody had fun!

So much has happened in the last little bit with my sweet Addie bug. To name a few, she started dance at Dance Illusion, and she goes to preschool once a week at a place called Miss Rosemary's. Addie loves both so much! She talks about her teachers all the time until she gets to see them again. It is so cute! So the whole preschool thing was a big debate because we didn't want to start her too early but we also wanted to start her now in case she could start elementary school a year earlier. Anyway, this preschool she goes to is more of a social experience and plus it is only one day a week so she won't get burnt out. She also gets to go with her cousin Libby that she loves, and it gives me and her a little break! So I would say we made the right choice.

First day of dance!

I just want to take a moment to say that I love Addie so much! She has truly changed my life with her presence. She is so sweet, caring, tenderhearted, inquisitive, silly and smart! I just don't know what I would do with out her. She is such a good big sis and always wants Berlin with her. I can't believe three years has already gone by. It has been so fun so far to watch her grow up! Every stage in her life is a new adventure for us! She is my best buddy! I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I DO! HAPPY BIRTHDAY ADDIE BELLE!
