3 year old adeline (yes, she blew them out by herself! rock on, girlie)

today adeline is three. holy crap-a-moleee! so i asked her some of the favorites in her life. since she is speaking better to a point that wes & i can nearly understand 80% of what she's saying i think these answers are legitimate (btw: other people probably understand about 25%, which is much better than 3 months ago). AND i think she's learning how to spell (that story another time) & she can draw a very lopsided heart suddenly, making her daddy's heart flip around & cause tears to come to his eyes (softy). tonight she told her grandma sue where we went out to eat (5 guys burgers & fries...but gma sue heard '3 guys' so that's pretty good talking!). anyway, here's her list of favorites:
what a kid we have with our sweet adeline. she has a huge heart for others & quite the silly & rambunctious attitude. adeline is growing into a little girl right before our eyes; if it weren't for the plethora of pictures, i would hardly notice day to day but mature she does. she is one who holds the hand of her preschool teacher but still looks behind for her mama (then smiles & wildly waves to her mama & little sis), one who cares for the crying kids in stores & on playgrounds & asks to give them a hug or a band aid. she still asks me every single day how my 'owie' is doing (my scar/incision) & checks it out by carefully pulling my hair back & says things like 'hmm, ooohh, sorry mama, owie'. then she wishes it gone by blowing on it & saying bye bye to the air.
just at target last night when we were sorting through all the shoes, we went over to the sock aisle to put a pair on her (of course, i forgot to put socks on her so we had to buy more socks...not something she needs). so i put the socks on her, then the shoes & as i was trying to explain to this shakily excited preschooler that she wouldn't be able to run b/c of the elastic around the shoes, well, she attempted to run, quickly. then she fell down, laughing. i was all 'addy you can't run b/c the shoes are tied together' but she just got up & tried *4 more times* to run with the new shoes, laughing hysterically the entire time--it was like i was witnessing her first drunk episode! i was nearly ready to pee my pants from watching her do this up & down then finally she figured out how to walk with her legs tight together & then how to hop. it's just moments like these that i am not going to forget, her ability to make light of what could be frustrating situations (then melt down for hours over eating a bite of food?! doi!). i know i had never laughed so much until she came into my life (& now that's double the trouble fun, eh?).
when i think about the next 2 decades it's anticipated with joy & love, bring it on, right? she is *so excited* to grow up & we are *so even more excited* to help her on this journey. we love you, sweet adeline! happy birthday.

I remember when Addy was born the airline lost our luggage giving us a bump to first class and we were excited for our trip home and the ability to get free drinks, more room and comfy seats. I cried halfway back thinking about wee little Addy, and when would I see her again, totally not able to enjoy it....
So glad you moved back even with all the hurdles and gray skies so we can be at her party!!!
And I have to say how much we love that little girl -- she does have a heart as big as Idaho, and it radiates like the sun. She lights up our lives immensely.
