IT'S HAPPENING TOO QUICKLY! Where is all the time going?
Hadassah is 3?! Hadassah isn't suppose to be three-- she is a funny two year old toddler, and more than a little part of me wishes she could stay that way awhile longer. I love each of my children with an intensity that I never could have imagined before I met them, but two year old 'Dassah was something special.
While I look forward to her becoming an articulate, beautiful, charismatic, delightful adult, for now, I love the fact that she slurs and stumbles through her "ABCD's". She is growing up too quickly. It seems like daily there is a new change -- she'll do something more like a child, and less like a toddler. When she says "Abigail" it now has three syllables instead of two. She asks to watch Magic School Bus instead of "Maggy coo-bus". When she jumps, she actually gets both feet off the ground!
And while I know there is so much to look forward to, I worry what I will lose next.
I'm firmly convinced that God made toddlers to be so incredibly cute in order to preserve our species -- if they weren't so adorable they never would survive to three years old!
Toddlerhood has been a special time in the Pendrak household for each child. Corban was the brave stoic; Abigail was fierce and passionate; and Hadassah has definitely been the funny one!
I put this video together to celebrate my funny little girl.
