Yet another Adrie update - and round 2 with the camera

This girl does new things every single day, and I NEED to document all the things swirling around in my head before she's 24 years old and I forget them all:

  • She's been singing "You don't never know..." (from Colors of the Wind)
  • She realized that we have about 10 good movies at our house, and she now watches a different one at each sitting (Cinderella, Pocahontas, Barbie and the Nutcracker, the Lion King, and the Swan Princess are in the top categories this week. She also sat through all of Snow White the first time.)
  • She continues to say "I'm gonna get married. In the temple. But I need to get bigger first. In a white dress. With married flowers. And a married ring!"
  • With church songs and lullabies at night she requests "Odette's song," "the Colors song" and "Cinderella's song."
  • She is really curious about directions, and extremely accurate about where we are. For example, any non-babysitter time we get off on 1600 North she starts a panic "We're not going to Tanner's house!? We're not going to Tanner's house?!!!" She knows when "We're almost home!" and "My Dad's house is that way," "The Church is that way" and more!
  • She's become a big climber lately - I walked into the front room to find my dining room chandelier swinging even though she knew enough to get down before I appeared. She climbs all over the couches and asks me if she can sit on the end tables.
  • For the curious girl she is, I am SO LUCKY she really doesn't "get into" things. She'll find something she knows she's not supposed to have (like a box of candy) and eat maybe one until she brings it to me.
  • She's started the "Pleeeeease! Puh-leeeeeeeazzzze!" I will admit I am not immune to this tactic :)

Here she stood saying "Let us in! The gates are locked! Oh no!"

Reading those Adrie quotes with the adorable tutu is almost enough for me to try for another one...and hopefully get a girl....(note: I said ALMOST!)

She is irresistible! Ryan always marvels at how early little girls start talking about weddings—it's like we're born with it. And that's awesome about her sense of direction. She's so smart!

Love all the Adrie sayings! I wish I'd done better writing down all the fun stuff my kids said. Her pictures are so adorable.
