Unpack your adjectives

If I could only have one word to describe my daughter, I'd have to go with fearless. She's willing to try anything that looks fun (or in many cases, dangerous) with no thought to the consequences, or how she'll get herself out of a situation once she gets herself into it. Chalk it up to being 2. To her credit, and by the grace of God, she usually succeeds (except for the incident with the concussion and the time she broke her tooth in half). Those successes, to her dad and me, are both amazing and terrifying.

I mention all this because Justin asked the other day how I would describe Abby, and I had fun trying to sum her up in a couple of words. I'm a list person. You know the kind...the one who has lists of things to do, things to buy, rooms in the house to clean. I've even been known to add things to an existing list that I've already accomplished, simply to be able to cross them off. So making a list of adjectives to describe my 26-month-old seems like a logical thing to do to help me remember down the road what she was like at this age. Here goes, in no particular order:

• boisterous
• excited
• noisy
• bossy
  
• fearless
• brave
  
• joyful
• musical
• impatient
• cuddly (finally!)
• energetic
• daring
• tough
  
• inquisitive
• helpful
• sophmoric
• carefree
• vivacious
• crazy
• adorable
• smart
• eager
