Sadie is 2!

So I am late in posting, but Sadie bug turned 2 on March 21st!  It fell on the same day as the Easter extravaganza at the Y, so we had fun there in the morning

then later in the afternoon opened her presents.
Walking around with her purse and money- is she 2 or 16?
And probably her favorite part of the whole day- Chic-fil-A!  When we told her we were going she kept saying, "Go chic-fil-a place!"
Then we topped off a good day with some cake- not a pretty one by any means but it tasted good and luckily my kids don't care yet about how it looks!
A few things about Sadie at 2:

-LOVES  her brother and sister and wants to be included in whatever they are doing.
-Is still on the quiet side by nature but is talking much much better now and putting words together, it has been so fun to hear.  Her speech therapist doesn't think she will be coming for much longer, which is both good that she's doing so well and bad because she loves when Miss Rachel comes!
-Has been potty trained for a few months now- she has wanted to for awhile now and I resisted it for a long time but finally gave in because she was trying to go all the time anyway.  She has been my easiest one to train and I am amazed at how few accidents she's had with a lot of traveling and different things thrown in.
-She loves to cuddle and give kisses and insists on the lips.  Like her sister at that age, she especially loves men and will sometimes go up and sit with them unprompted.
-She has a sassy side.  She is my only one who when I tell her to pick something up will say, "No.  Mom do it."  She also insists on picking out her own clothes, which I try not to squelch, but I cringe at some of her choices and especially when she never picks some of my personal favs!
-She hates when things are broken and will bring it to you and say "fix it!" with such a sad face.  When it does get fixed, she will tell you for weeks afterward when playing with it, "Daddy fix it!"  or whoever it was that fixed it (which is usually Josh)
-Loves coloring, gluing, cutting, Frozen, dress up, brushing doll/pony hair, when her friend Fritz comes over, going to nursery, me to read her books while she's going potty, her yellow rain jacket, french fries, the Y, and talking on the phone.

You have done an amazing job of capturing Sadie's sweet, loving personality. I love her expressions and her cute smile. If I ever want to smile I just have to think of Sadie
in her yellow rain jacket.

These memories that you are writing down will be so precious and important in years to come. Sadie is such a cutey, looks like she had no problem opening her gifts. We are so glad for these pictures.

I can see little glimpses of you in some of Sadie's pictures. Way to go on the potty training. I'm hoping that my third is easy as well. Not holding my breath!
