Happy Birthday Ady!

Today is Adelyn's 7th Birthday!

Ady is such a sweet girl!  She is always willing to help me with whatever I need.  She will hear me say that I need something done or that I wish I could get something and she will quietly go and do it as a surprise.  She is a huge help with Evy and a big support to me.

We sometimes call her Adelyn, and last year she wanted to go by her full name at school, but she is mostly always Ady.  I also call her Add, Adel and Biddle or occasionally Bid.  I think Biddle started as little biddle, but over the years it has just become Biddle. 

Ady is very sensitive and caring and loves to do nice things for people.  

She can be a bit shy and quiet, but when she opens up she is so much fun.  She loves to tell a little jokes or relay funny stories to me of things that happened at school.

She is very smart and loves school.  If she doesn't have enough homework she will get out a workbook at home and work on math on her own.  She loves to read and is reading chapter books.  She has been reading Roald Dahl books lately, but she usually has several books going at once.  She loves to read books to Evy.  It is so cute to see them sharing some sister time.

Her teachers at school and at church frequently tell me how sweet, kind, smart, caring and bright she is.  In the first few weeks of school I got an email from Mrs. F.  telling me that Ady is such a "doll" and that she is very caring and was helping a newer girl feel welcome.

She is super sweet, but lately we are starting to see a little sass! She has always been good at playing by herself at home, but has been a little reserved and shy about doing things outside her comfort zone.  Lately I have seen her be so brave and try to do hard things.  It is hard to sit back and let her do it without me.  I just want to hug her and tell her I will help her, but I know she needs to gain confidence and be more independent.  She is getting so grown up!  I can't believe she is in first grade already.  

 

Ady is very imaginative and will play in her room for hours.  She loves horses, Puzzles, Polly Pockets, Barbies, Zoobles, Littlest Pet Shop,  Princesses and dogs.  She also loves to listen to music.  She is taking piano lessons and she loves to practice.  She picked up on it very quickly and is doing so well.  She can already read music more efficiently than I can.  It seems to come pretty naturally to her.   

Ady is a wonderful sister.  She loves to play with the boys and she and Tayden are especially close.  We sometimes joke around and call the two of them Taydelyn because they are such good buddies.  I love seeing them have such a great relationship.

She is also a wonderful big sister to Evy.  She longed for a sister for so many years and she is so thrilled to finally have a sister to share her life with.  I know that in the coming years that relationship will continue to grow.  I am excited to see that. 

Happy Birthday to my sweet girl, my best friend.  I love you Ady! ♥
