Round 2

More slides! We met Daddy at McDonald's to go down some slides and have lunch. Addie got to slide with each of us individually and would probably still be there right now if we let her. Now, she can spot the golden arches before we can and immediately start shouting "slide! slide!" Dare devils!
She got a special treat after finishing her lucnh-ice cream! I think Addie has decided she likes ice cream even more than chocolate-that is huge because she is a big chocolate fan. Recently, she has been asking for chocolate ice cream...a flavor she has never had and we have never even told her existed. I guess she just knows it must be awesome-her two favorite things combined!
We celebrated with cupcakes and presents after dinner on Addie's actual birthday.

She got a lot of stuff!
So proud of her basketball abilities.
Still working on learning how to pedal, but she loves her tricycle even though she makes it move by pushing off the ground with her feet
She got lots of birthday calls.
One of my favorite things about Addie's birthday was how excited she got about it all. Addie had no idea she was going to get presents for her birthday (which is why lots of kids are excited to have a birthday, I believe), but she was so excited all day! Just by us telling her it was her birthday and singing "happy birthday" to her, she was overcome with joy and energy. It was so fun to watch her. It was also fun to hear her sing "happy birthday to Addie" over and over and over again...and we still hear her sing it a week later. I think she wants her birthday to last!
