Sweet and precious!

Adelle always amazes us with the amount of sweet and precious things she can do in one day. Yesterday, she had some toy animals out with her playdough to keep her contained in her highchair while Jesse was cooking cinnamon rolls. I said we could each get one animal, and I asked her if she wanted to be the rhino or the lion. She grabbed the rhino, so I said, "What if my lion wanted to chase your rhino?" And I made the lion chase her rhino around the tray on the highchair. Then, I asked, "What if my lion wanted to fight and he started growling?" Adelle promptly put the rhino's mouth to the lion and made a kiss sound to stop any animal agression! She's definetly a lover, not a fighter, just like us!

Today, Jesse and I were asking her for high fives. Adelle used her left hand to give me five, then Jesse five and did that a couple of times. Then, she looked back and forth between us like she was thinking and put out both hands to give us high fives at the same time! She's a problem solver for sure! Its only a week and a half until she's 16 months....

Today we had a blast going to her Parents as Teachers playgroup, the library, and an unexpected trip to Collins Park with her grandpa and uncle Max. Then, she was so worn out that she slept for 3 hours, 2 of which were on my lap. I'm just trying to treasure every moment. Every night as Adelle falls asleep, I recap the day's events for her, not only to help her get to sleep, but also to try to create a lasting imprint in my memory of the good times we've shared.
