i love this age

Adelaide will be 2 in just over a week.  I think this is one of my favorite ages. 

She is happy to join us at the table with a few of her own activities during school time, even if only for a few minutes.  She is getting better at communicate her feelings with words instead of cries, and so often the things she says are followed by our surprised "did she just say...?".  Like yesterday, when I stepped in a box of crayons that had been left on the floor.  As they scattered across the floor, Addie looked up from across the room and said "Mom make a mess!"  I am trying to hold on to these moments.  Live each day fully here, because the time passes so quickly, and I can hardly remember the other children at this age and all the cute and wonderful things they did.  That is why I started this blog 4 years ago- as an attempt to capture just a bit if the wonder.  A way to hold on and remember.  Sometimes I get caught up in the projects and things crossed off my to do list and forget to capture our lives here too.  That is something I want to more of.
