Addie was restless the day before her birthday. She believed that if she stayed awake her day would come sooner. After many attempts to get her to sleep, the sandman finally set in. Then bright and early (at 6:00 am) she walks out of her room with misty eyes and says " is it my birthday?". When we told her it was she ran to the kitchen to put on her birthday hat ( the one that I purchased last year and could not for the life of me get her to put on!!)
On our way to the Zoo she asks "Is everyone going to be wearing their birthday hats?". This is why I love little kids. In her mind it is her day and everyone is celebrating too. We had fun playing at the Zoo and her favorite, the train ride!
I can't believe we have a 3 year old! I never thought of birthdays being sentimental, but I have to admit I did get a little choked up a couple of times when I would look at her and think of the journey we have had. I love her for making me a mom. I love her for helping me grow up a bit. And I love her for the special person she is in our family and our lives. Happy Birthday sweet pea!
