This post may be a little over-due for Adelie's actual birthday, but it's never too late to reflect back on what makes Adelie uniquely and wonderfully her. We love to tell the stories about all the crazy things that Adelie did in her younger years. But there is so much more to Adelie than just her wild and crazy side (which, to be fair, has mellowed dramatically over the years).
From the moment she was born, our Adelie stole our hearts with her sweet nature.
She was easy and happy and social and fun...and always on the go!
She kept us on our toes with her constant world exploration and boundary pushing.
Her sweet and loving nature balanced out her wild and crazy size.
Adelie has always been thoughtful and generous and kind.
Adelie has always had the sincerest faith and the most empathetic heart.
Adelie is a girl with many things she loves. She loves school (and all her friends at school)...
her siblings (and her cousins)...
reading (and writing and drawing and crafting and creating)...
fancy, glittery, cute things (and making fancy, glittery, cute things to give as gifts)...
mermaids (and manatees and dolphins and water and swimming),...
and acting (and singing and dancing and doing gymnastics).
Adelie has so many things that make her uniquely her. And all the things...the wild and crazy to the empathetic and thoughtful...the goofy to the sweet...the kind to the creative...the smart to the sincere...the faith driven to the people pleasing...the loving to the generous...are all mixed together into one amazingly wonderful little girl who is growing up right before our eyes.
Happy birthday, Adelie!
You are so loved!!
