All About Addie

Addie will be 4 in a few months.  FOUR.  That means in a year and a half my little baby will be starting kindergarten.  How did we go from this...

...to this so quickly:

And just to prove how big she is getting....look what she can do:

She has been able to identify her shapes and colors since she was two but now she can also identify patterns, letters and numbers.  She knows everything that she has to know before kindergarten with the exception of our address and phone number which we will be starting on very soon.  Lately, she is really acting like a big girl too.  She has been exceptionally sweet and kind to Mia (and Jack of course but she has always been sweet to Jack.....Mia on the other hand, she has always had a love-hate relationship with!)  I've been really impressed with her lately.  She hasn't even thrown one of her divalicious tantrums she is famous for!  She is quite the story teller, remembers everything (just like her momma) and has an awesome imagination. 
I am really enjoying watching my firstborn grow up.  Sure, it makes me a little sad (you won't believe the on-going war in my head I am constantly having over whether or not I want to send her to preschool.  She really wants to go, but I keep coming up with reasons to postpone. I only have one more year of her all to myself!) but I do enjoy watching her turning into such a big kid! I love you so much Addie-cakes!
