We had two little friends (Sadie and Ashbee), their siblings, and mamas (two friends of mine from College) came over for cupcakes on Monday morning. That was especially fun for Addie because she got pink cupcakes which she has been asking about since she learnt to talk! Daddy came home from work and led us in Duck Duck Goose and a bean bag throw game which was really fun. That was pretty well the entire party - but it seemed to satisfy the three-year-olds which was the goal!
On Addie's actual birthday we went around as a family and said something we appreciated about Addie. The entries were as follows:
Daddy - appreciates how Addie is always willing to help get things (ed note: even when we don't ask!)
Mommy - appreciates how much Addie is talking now and how fun it is to see her personality come through in her language
Jack - appreciates how Addie now wears pants/underwear (we said it could be something that she accomplished during the year)
Theo - appreciates how Addie shares her toys (this was after a long pause - it felt a bit forced but we still were thankful for the entry! :) )
Eliot (via mommy) - appreciates how Addie talks to him and brings him toys when he is unhappy
It was fun to praise Addie and her character. It was most fun to see how chuffed she was at the compliments. We are very thankful for this little girl and the joy she brings to us.
Sadie gave Addie a pink tent - here is a picture of Addie and Brooke (Ashbee's older sis)

Since I didn't get to play the "I appreciate" game, I will give mine here. I appreciate Addie's ready smile and her letting me tickle her arm or her back a lot!!!!
