I can't help think how fast time goes by with Addy's 3rd birthday coming up soon. We still can not believe that our little Addison is turning 3. She has changed the most in this past year. Her vocabulary has taken off in full and she is saying so many things that we look at her and go where did you hear that. I am happy to say that Addy has gotten into the Disney Movies and loves pretty much everything Disney, so she has taken that from her mother. :) One of our biggest challenges lately is potty training and transitioning into a big girl bed. I have to say she is really doing great with the potty training and even the bed situation is getting so much better. Sometimes when I do get frustrated the song "It Won't be like this" by Darius Rucker comes into my head. When I hear that song, I just take a step back and realize that time flies so fast that this current phase we are in will be over before we know it. I will paste the lyrics. It is the best song to listen to being a parent and for those times we get stressed or frustrated. Enjoy!



He didnt have to wake up
He'd been up all nite
Lay'n there in bed listen'n
To his new born baby cry
He makes a pot of coffee
He splashes water on his face
His wife gives him a kiss and says
It gonna be OK

It wont be like this for long
One day soon we'll look back laugh'n
At the week we brought her home
This phase is gonna fly by
So baby just hold on
It wont be like this for long

Four years later bout four thirty
She's crawling in there bed
And when he drops her off at preschool
She's clinging to his leg
The teacher peels her off of him
He says what can I do
She says now dont you worry
This will only last a week or two

It wont be like this for long
One day soon we'll drop her off
And she wont even know your gone
This phase is gonna fly by
If you can just hold on
It wont be like this for long

One day soon she'll be a teenager
And at times you'll think she hates him
Then he'll walk her down the isle
And he'll raise her vale
But right now she up and cry'n
And the truth is that he dont mind
As he kisses her good night
And she says her prayers
He lays down there beside her
Till her eyes are finally closed
And just watch'n her it breaks his heart
Cause he already knows
It wont be like this for long
One day soon that little girl is gonna be
All grown up and gone
Yeah this phase is gonna fly by
He's try'n to hold on
It wont be like this for long
It wont be like this for long
