My Little Princess

"Addisonisms"

• Never, never never. Not really sure where she heard that but she says it when playing with her princesses all the time.
  


• She loves to put things to bed (animals, princesses, etc). She also likes to pretend to change their diapers.
  


• She calls hamburgers "hamgeburgers"
  


• She was very into Auntie Jo's wedding last weekend. Auntie Jo was the bride and Uncle Cory was the prince. He is the only prince as well. Daddy isn't a prince, Carter isn't a prince, and Uncle Matt isn't a prince.
  


• She took one look at my mom last weekend in her black dress for Joanna's wedding and said "Grandma is a black bride!"



• After her bath she always says "Addison carry you" when she wants you to carry her to her room.



• She always picks a pink, green, and yellow paci to take to bed. I am going to work on the potty thing first before fighting the paci fight.



• She calls Ryan's dad "Papa Bombine" (Combine)



• She loves the movie Princess and the Frog. Her favorite character is Ray (the firefly). She loves his song and can be heard singing the words "goin' down the bayou" while riding in the car.


• Calls Pocahantas "Hocamanus"



• When putting Addison to bed, I love hearing the words "love you too, mom!"

My sister..

My sister is absolutely fabulous! Both my sisters are fabulous but Laura takes the cake this month!!! She went to her company (McGladrey) and pitched Addison and the March of Dimes. They picked it up for their Casual for a Cause for the month of March and on March 18th, Laura and her work friends raised $363 for Team Addison Meyer and March of Dimes!!!
