Six Years

This year Adelle is six! It's been an incredible journey up to this point. Adelle has made leaps and bounds this year. Her artwork has gone from amazing to unbelievable. She has started soccer and Karate. She zoomed through Kindergarten Math, Phonics, and Language Arts and is half-way through the first grade Math curriculum. She learned to tie her shoes, explore the internet, name her continents, tell time, and throw one hell of a punch.

I've learned that Adelle is her own person... a little bit of me, a little bit of Jesse, and parts of her personality are uniquely her own. She's skeptical, thoughtful, inquisitive, and sensitive. She likes to please others and be silly but she doesn't want to be the center of attention. She likes to follow the rules but also escape into fantasy by pretending to be a dog, cat, or unicorn. She is the best big sister anyone could ask for. She watches out for her little brother, tries to entertain him, and is always exceeding my expectations with how patient she is with him. I'm amazed at her growth and accomplishments and the wonderful little girl she has become. I love her more than words can describe. Happy Birthday Adelle!
