Iddo

Iddo is a very perspicacious child. Her life is full of wonder, excitement, and discovery, and so she fills my life with the same. Some of that excitement, like watching the garbage truck go past or loud rolling thunder, scares her, but she bravely hides behind my leg and sticks it out. And once she’s gotten over her fear she’s all in. She would swing all day long now if we’d let her while just a few months ago she was terrified of the swings. She loves books and libraries. She has a memory to envy. She constantly says things that make me pause and think about their depth or just laugh at how wonderful the world must look from her point of view. And she’s an incredible big sister, completely loving of her little sister and brother. She loves to play with them and help them, singing and reading to them.

I am grateful that I was blessed with the patience I would need until I was fully ready to welcome this incredible spirit into our home. She is exactly what our home needs.
