ADDIE'S Top 10 @ 5 Years Old (#5-#1)

#5 Smokey & All Dogs! This one has been on her list since her first year. She is absolutely infatuated with dogs and wants to be petting them anywhere she goes. Just last weekend, while we were at the beach, she was in dog heaven.

#4 Being Social & Talking To Anyone: This gal loves to talk to people, ask questions, tell a story and most of all just say hi. Her fearlessness doing this sometimes worries me but so far she has had good judgement. Here she was at the beach running from one dog owner to another asking them if she could pet their dog. She would stay there talking to each person forever every time.

#3 Her Brother and Sister: Still to this day, ask her what she wants to do after school and it is anything involving her brother and even at 6 years old, he feels the same way. Just as I imagined, having a baby around the house has only brought them closer as they entertain one another when Blake and I are busy with the baby. Their bond has definitely continued to grow.

#2 Dancing Everywhere! No matter what she is doing or where she is going, chances are she is pirouetting to get there! She loves all things dance.

#1 Stuffed Animals and "Flicka": Addie's favorite thing as she turns five, are stuffed animals. She could care less about any baby doll or stroller but give her a soft, four legged unicorn and she won't put it down ever. We travel with these larger than life pieces of cotton every where we go!
