Hadley Joy: 3 1/4 Years

Hadley, since you were born, Mommy and Daddy have loved every "stage" or Season of your life.  We have not wished away one second, in order to hurry up to the next one.  You may not change every month when it comes to "milestones" anymore, but you grow in love and gratefulness and helpfulness and sassyness everyday!  Sometimes this parenting stuff is rough, it's tedious, and it's a broken record at times, but to see you learn, accept, grow, and change makes me one proud Mommy! 

 

You are a beautiful princess!  Even though we dress up as a pretend Princess like Snow White, you are a true princess because God is our Father and He is King.            

 

 

and an example of the Sassy...

You love to dance.  The minute you hear music, your body is moving! 

You are very loud.  Very. 

 

You also love Hello Kitty, so I thought the boots were fitting.  

Krystina taught you how to blow a kiss like a princess and send it away gently....

 

 



You get your gentleness from your Mommy...Our gentleness comes out with a whole lot of passion behind it  :)

You love to read books. 

 



 

You have an awesome imagination.  I was surprised at how much you wanted to and enjoyed acting out Snow Whites story...

 

 

You were down right giddy to take a bite!

 



This one is my favorite of you.  You are perfectly still and in character.  Not to say we didn't get a few with a grinning "sleeping" princess.  

 



 

 

This guy is our true prince!  The love you have for your Daddy is precious and sacred!  And the love he has for you is the same.  

Daddy says you have the sweetest voice.  He wants to record you so he can hear your voice even when he is away.  

Even though you are dressed like Snow White, your favorite princess right now is Ariel.  You have this castle that Nana bought for you and it plays all the princesses songs.  And when it plays the music, guess what you do...Dance!  

 

You can recite the Pledge of Allegiance.  You are learning and remembering your Bible verses for Awana too! 

 

You are loving Preschool.  You learn something new everyday.  You are learning to sound out letters and then say words that start with that letter. 

 

 

"b" "b" "b"  BALL

 

 

Not to say, you don't get a little confused at times...

 

 

"f" "f" "f"  WORK

 

"f" "f" "f"  TREE

 

"f" "f" "f" GRASS 

You have the gift of making people laugh.  You are silly and enjoyable to be around.  You show love through lots of hugs and kisses....And cuddles when I can get you to stop moving :)

 

Hadley Joy, you are loved.  You are a true gift and we are so thankful for your presence in our lives!
