Sometimes I wonder what in the world makes it so hard to be Addie. There are days when the tears flow from the time she wakes up til the time she goes to bed - like yesterday. And she has been that way from the very beginning. Can it be so devastating not to find the right combination of pants, shirt and hairbow? that her favorite breakfast spoon is dirty? that her socks have little bumps at the toe? that it just won't do to share her pink pail with a friend? that she has to wait her turn to swing? that her mittons don't match? that she needs to eat just one baby carrot? that she couldn't find the right hiding place for hide and seek? that the football sticker Kellen gave her just IS NOT as good as the other football sticker on his paper (that looks exactly the same to me)? The poor girl just has days... But I know God made her this way for a reason and we roll with the tears, because despite having some grumpy days now and then, Addie sure can turn on the charm and be a lot of fun! Now if I can just figure out how to keep her 3 forever so that I don't have to deal with teenage Addie... ;)

I feel your pain, my friend!!!
jackson can be rather tearful as well! today he cried for a 1/2 hour b/c there was a microscopic hole in his waffle, then he cried b/c his blanket that he was using to cover up was "messy" and he couldn't get it all smooth, and then at lunch he cried for about a 1/2 hour b/c his grapes didn't completely make a circle around his sandwich. needless to say, i don't know what to do with him when he's like that and there seems to be no convincing him that things are going to be OK. glad to hear i'm not the only one. i know it's not always easy to put up with these "quirks". guess i need to focus more on the positive days...as you are! thanks for the reminder! :)
