9. She was a quirky baby and toddler who hated loud noises, wasn't interested in other children, and staged nuclear meltdowns over sudden changes in plans. She taught us to be gentle and careful parents.
8. She didn't talk until she was two and a half. Her first intelligible sounds were repeating the alphabet after me.
7. When she did talk, daily conversation got a whole lot weirder.
6. I spent six months teaching her to read at age 5. Then she struck off on her own and read "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz."
5. She enjoys the drama of being sick. It's unfortunate that she has a very robust constitution.
4. She has a powerful sweet tooth.
3. She really wants to do good and be good.
2. She has grown into a helpful young woman who mentors Daphne and helps me keep tabs on Pip.
1. Today she turns ten years old. We're celebrating!

Addie is also winsome and so comfortable to be around. I loved her as a sweet newborn, and love and respect her today for the daily choices she makes to be a good girl.
Happy Birthday, precious 10-year-old.

Addie also makes the cutest human firecracker I've ever seen. =) It's so hard to believe she's been a part of all of our lives for 10 years! Happy birthday, Addie. =)
