Birthday Party
Today was a lot of fun, Adessa -- sharing a special birthday party celebration with you: balloons, blowers, a chocolate birthday cake (with nine candles because that's how many you wanted), songs, games, and an enormous mountain of presents that made your eyes practically pop out of your head when you saw them.
We might have reached a turning point today -- maybe. I asked you early on, "How old are you?" And you replied with your usual, "I'm Adessa." I laughed and explained "No, honey... you just turned three years old... so when someone asks you 'How old are you?' you tell them 'I'm three years old.'" I could tell you absorbed this and sure enough when I asked you later how old you are, you grinned really big and said, "I'm three years old!" I guess the real test will be when I ask you this again in a couple days.
You were fascinated with the cake and enamored with the candles... you gave blowing them out your best shot and with Daddy's help we got em all. Took a little while, though.
As for the presents, here's the inventory of your gifts today:
From Uncle Matt and Aunt Noelle:
That was a lot of fun today, honey... still can't quite get my head around the fact that you are three years old now.
