Our Entertainer

Last night when everyone was arriving for our home community Adeline was ready. She greeted everyone at the door with a "Hi" and a sweet smile. She proceeded to make sure that everyone was paying attention to her and if they weren't we would hear a LOUD squeal(meaning....look at me right now).

We always put her on display with her most recent tricks that we go through one after another. Sweet eyes, high five, clap(to the song If You're Happy And You Know It...), scary voice....and the list goes on. She knows all of the Disney princesses by name all the way down to Mrs. Potts the coffee pot from Beauty and the Beast. Who would have thought that a purchase at Meijer for a Disney collection of books would bring so much joy.

By the end of the night she was pretty tired from running around, jumping on her couch and entertaining. After turning literally every page of my bible in my lap she closed it frustrated, stood up, and started to cry uncontrollably. Nothing happened. She just started to cry. The type of cry where you stop breathing for a couple seconds. With a lot of tears. It was really, really sad. Thankfully, with a big hug from Mom (and an animal cracker from the cupboard) she stopped just as fast as she started.

Dressed for bed (in her new princess pj's), hugs and kisses to Daddy, special "ba-byes" with a wave to everyone else Adeline and I went upstairs for bed. Our bedtime book for the night was one from my childhood "The House In The Hole In The Side Of The Tree". We said our prayers, gave each other Eskimo kisses, and rocked for awhile. Adeline was soon asleep.

She is so much fun. Our Entertainer. I love her.

P.S. We don't just watch Adeline all night I promise. We do read some scripture and have discussions too:)
