(Yes, she burst into tears shortly after this pic...we wont be singing Happy Birthday to her anymore)Eden Kay! You are a three year old (or free, as you would say). You are such a super-smart little girl. You have things figured out before we have chance to, most of the time. Talking up a storm...literally. You have one LOUD little blowhorn, Miss! Holy cow. Thankfully, most of what you do say is hilarious. You keep us rolling. Last week during our bible study, you told us that "Jesus likes pickles" - of course, we had to agree with you.
Some of your favorite things to do are, of course, playing with your sisters. You and Emma are quite the rockstars singing along to the Donut Man and Bullfrogs and Butterflies. You love to play house and have a very creative imagination (i.e. using the fridge as an elevator, etc.). You love to read books; play outside in the muck, mud, snow, etc; ride your tricycle; and color & paint. You have also become quite a good little helper. You love to help me in the kitchen with cooking and dishes, and you will do anything for Eliza.
You certainly have a mind of your own too. You wore your Christmas dress to your party, try as I might with convincing you to wear pink or ANYTHING else. You told me that Auntie Jen couldn't come to your party. Of course, I asked you why, but to no avail. I pleaded and told you she would be so sad; to which you replied, "she will only be sad for a little bit, Mom". I asked you if she could come if she brought you a present, and you said she could just send the present with Uncle Jay. Luckily Auntie Jen still came, and I think you forgot about uninviting her and didn't kick her out. All that to say, that you are very determined, know what you want, and are forgiving most of the time.
We love you Eden Kay! We thank God for you and are looking forward to seeing you continue to grow into a beautiful young lady.
