Ode to my sweet little girl

have one great little girl!

Sometimes i realize what a lucky mom i am, and what an incredibly talented little girl i have.
Some of it is probably because shes an only child but she's seriously awesome. Addie has been potty trained for sometime now and it was pretty easy. She is reading and sounding out small words now like its going out of style. She has known her letters since she was about 18 months old and sounds came pretty quickly after. We started playing hooked on phonics and next thing i knew she was sounding out words and reading. Shes a little genius... (i might be a little biased)
I also love how sweet she is and how much she wants everyone to be happy. The ultimate punishment for Addie is knowing that she made someone feel sad. She has an incredible imagination and is always making up songs and playing pretend. I love how she walks around the house narrating every action in song. Although one of my very favorite things about Addie is how adventurous she is! Yesterday we went to the store to get stuff for a picnic and she requested sushi! She is always up for an adventure and to try new things and ready to go anywhere in the world we take her.
She has traveled as much as some adults... She has seen most of the United States including Alaska, shes been to Switzerland and Germany and can count to ten in 3 languages and we are currently working on a 4th.

Favorite things Addie has said:

"mom, you're my best friend"

after taking her to the Smithsonian in DC we asked her what her favorite part was and she said
"i saw dinosaur poop!"

"mom, are you sad? Do you want me to take you to the doctor?"

after throwing a fit she will suddenly stop and say
"I'm feeling much better"

"I am so proud of you Mom"

she is constantly telling EVERYONE
"You are so beautiful" , "I love it, its wonderful"

"Hi, I'm Addie and I'm 2"
