The one about Adelaide

Sometimes I wish y’all could know Adelaide like we do. Even at three she is such a unique personality, full of lively energy and free spirit. Marches to her own drum, that one.

You know that old saying, ‘girls are made of sugar and spice and everything nice’? Undoubtedly in this house, Madeline is our sugar and Adelaide is our spice. She sort of flits around; skipping, hopping, dancing as she goes. She’s also our resident entertainer, loving to be silly and always trying to make us laugh.

And her singing! Her Sunday school teachers all have commented on her wholehearted approach to “deep and wide” and the other five favorite songs. She sings plenty at home, complete with proclaiming “good job!” to herself at the end. She will not, however, perform on demand. (She can be a stinker that way.)
She can be so caring and sweet (“can I pet your face, mama?”) yet so full of mischief (sneaks in the fridge to dig her fingers in the butter). She will eat ANYTHING doused in ketchup, is my hungriest kid in the mornings, and won’t go anywhere without her “lanket.”

I love how she calls teacups “tea parties.” And while Madeline loves to talk about princesses, Adelaide is certain that she IS a princess. (But only if/when she’s wearing a dress.) She totally fits her pixie haircut and bright red shoes.

Happy birthday to my enchanting, delightful, lively girl.
