Anne Elizabeth is now 3 years old! However, I have always felt that she was always so beyond her years. On her 2nd birthday, when someone would ask her how old she was turning, she would exclaim, "Eleven!" She never fails to surprise and astound me with her hillarious antics. She has a wonderful sense of humor, and a fiesty, courageous spirit. She is everything that I am not. It is neat to parent a child that is nothing like yourself. Just today, at her three year check-up, she taught me about courage. As her siblings, the pediatrician, and I watched in astonishment, she excitedly hopped up on the table, eagerly awaiting her immunization. She was determined not to get upset(probably due to her brother Sam's reminders that she would surely NOT like the shot-part). She laid back and let out a little whimper of surprise, but, that was it. She then put on her clothes and was ready to retrieve her prized lollipop and sticker.
I can't wait to see what the future holds for this little firecracker, whose personality matches her hair color. It is going to be interesting to see where God takes her. Surprises loom around every corner with her around. I never know what to expect! She is so much fun! We all love you Anne! :)
