3 years old

Adell is three!









Here are 3 of our favorite things about our favorite three-year-old.

1) She says some pretty adorable stuff.
         She calls the way she runs: ma-guskie-jack-a-lope-style.  I don't know where she came up with the name...but when she runs she comically pumps her arms and kicks her legs out to the side.
         When she wants to have you sit next to her she says: "You can come and sit ba-next-ta' me."
         Some time this spring Adell learned how to tell people that she was 2 and 1/2 years old--but she would be 3 on November 25th (carefully holding up 2 and then 3 fingers).  She she says "Novemburrr twenty-fifff", adorable.
          We are trying to teach the children not to fight by reading scriptures about being peacemakers and loving one another.  One week Wyatt and Adell were having a little fight.  Adell came running into Daddy to tattle-tale: "Daddy, Wyatt is doing disputings and he is doing disputings to me!"
2) She loves going to Nursery on Sunday and Play group on Monday.  She cannot wait to start school (in 3 years...)
3) She has really found a love of coloring and drawing.  She draws people, butterflies and rainbows.  She colors (very carefully!) in coloring books.  We all love to see her latest creations.

Happy birthday my darling baby--er--big girl!
