three, Three, THREE!

Addy Scott turns THREE today. How can it be??? Three years ago I remember waiting for the nurses to bring her in at night, the room was as dark and as a hospital room could get. It was 2:30am, but I didn't care, I already missed her and was ready to have more time with her. They would bring her in and all I could see was the precious silhouette of my little 7 lb 2 oz baby along with the white surrounding her big, beautiful, beady brown eyes. My heart pounds just thinking of those moments. The first year we struggled learning how to care for her sensitive digestive system. Well, I struggled, and she just smiled and cooed as if she was cheering me on. Our Addy has grown into a thriving, healthy, and spunky little girl who solves challenging situations with more ingenuity than all of us put together at times. Her favorite color is blue and she even insists that we get the sprinkled donuts from the store that has the "blue sprinkle" within the rainbow sprinkle mixture. All those who know her have experienced her sense of humor and are frequently amazed at her ability understand the jokes often firing back her own witty retort. I might also mention she shares a birthday with Dr. Seuss which is pretty appropriate for this little girl. She still gives me those little moments when she climbs into my lap and melts into my soul (ahhh, Heaven!). However, when you see her she is likely not walking, not running, but rather galloping around. I guess she just prefers to bounce but this often means we are kissing and loving on her after walls and door frames jump out in front of her. Despite these battle wounds and the challenging, daily lessons toddlerhood often brings , at the end of every day her prayers sound a bit like this, "God is good, God is good, God is good, God is good......Amen." Well, baby, I couldn't say it any better. He is SO good in that He knew your unique addition to our family would be a perfect fit. We love you so very much!
