Happy Birthday, Ada Jewel!
Ada looked like this when we started calling her Ada Bean. She was just so cute and round! When she was in preschool her teacher asked her what her full name was and she said, “Ada Bean Jewel White.” We still call her Bean or Beanie.
Sometimes we call her Little Mama, too, because she mothers us all. This year Claire is moving into her own room upstairs and Ada is happily taking on Macy as her new roommate. I don’t think having her own room has even crossed her mind. She is a giver, a lover, a friend.
This morning at breakfast she was explaining to me that she and Jesse had decided NOT to sign up for the school reading program at school that would earn them free tickets to Six Flags because “Macy and Claire would still be too afraid to ride those rides, so we can go when we’re all older.”
She took to school a package of candy bracelets and watches and was plotting in her little mind which of her classmates would choose which sticky accessory and making sure she would have enough.
I couldn’t love this girl more.
Happy Birthday, Our Ada Bean Jewel White! Six years old TODAY!
Happy Birthday Ada!!
It’s so hard to believe she was ever a bean! She’s so beautiful. And I love that mothery thing in her that reminds me so much of you.

That sounds like another little girl I knew once, who mothered and loved and…….oh wait…….She still does!
Happy Birthday Ada! You sound a lot like your Mommy!
