First Day of Camp

This year I signed Addison up for a three week summer camp at our local nature center. It is within walking distance to our house and some neighbor friends are also in it. Addison is learning all about animals, signing songs, and lots of crafting! She loves it and she loves her new big girl Dora backpack.
Addison is now 40 months old, almost three and a half. She is a firecracker, always talking, always loud, and always on the Go!! She decided that she is a big girl and therefore needs a big girl bed. She has been begging us to sleep downstairs but we aren't comfortable with that so we took the bottom of the trundle bed downstairs and put it on the floor in her room. Reese is still in the crib but climbed out of it yesterday so we think its time she goes to the toddler bed! 
Addison loves Dora, loves reading, and loves anything her sister has! Does anyone else relate, lately I have been feeling more like a referee then a mommy. But oh well, its only a phase, right?!!?
 Addison is very sweet, she is curious, and will give her opinion and anything and everything. 
She loves to pick out her own clothes and still prefers to wear her Minnie Mouse dress or dance outfits over "normal" clothes. Addison likes order and knows where things should go and gets frustrated if they are out of place. Her imagination is huge and she comes up with detailed stories that she will tell, and most the time she convinces the person listening that its true.  
Addie has a fantastic memory and will bring up things that happened days or even months ago. I love talking to her because she has a great sense of humor and loves to cuddle. I miss her when she goes to camp and its only a couple of hours, makes me nervous for Kindergarden! 
She is a bed jumping, hair combing, and fun loving girl. 
Love you Addie Bear!
