Our sweet Adelai Susan turned 4 on September 22nd. She had been asking and asking, "My birthday coming up?" I kept and saying pretty soon - but time to a 3 year old has no real meaning. We tried figuring out what she wanted to do - what kind of party etc. The few things we go out from her was - Chuck E Cheeses, Red Robin and a party at home. I think we accomplished it!

In the Totey home (passed on from my growing up) we don't just have a Birth Day - we celebrate Birthday Week. This way it is spread out and we are able to fit in all that we want to do.

Adelai is such a sweet girl. She is very independent yet doesn't really like to be alone - probably because she is the 3rd child. She is getting so big wanting to do things on her own and sometimes I have to be patient realizing that when she does it she is learning and it doesn't have to be perfect. Just a little while ago she prayed for dinner all by herself - she prayed that she wouldn't be sick and that sisters and baby Will wouldn't be sick. So sweet. It makes a Momma proud to have your children pray all by themselves.
She is an amazing present opener. She shakes with excitement to open them up, and is so expressive when she see what it is. No mistaking what she feels - it is great.

When Adelai was 2, I wasn't sure we were going to make it through...She is so independent and strong willed but even in the last 2 years it has become easier. She had learned how to communicate and now she doesn't get as frustrated. I love having her around and she is my little buddy now that the older 2 are in school. How I love this sweet tiny little girl - someday she is going to take this world by storm and no one will sway her from what and Who she believes in. I am honored to be her Mommy.
