Twelve years ago Abby would...

Things I wrote down in March 2004 about my dear Abby!

Dear Sweetheart,

I thought I would take a minute to express how much I love you. I cannot believe you are a little over 2. If you could see yourslef, you would be amazed, as Mom and I are, at the level of intelligence and the depth of your spirit. You are doing things that I did not expect for a long time…it is a great blessing to be a witness to your life.

Each morning when Mom or I come into your room you say “good dreams.” I think that is because we always ask you if you had good dreams.

You say the funniest things:
  • Watch raccoons 
  • Mommy I love you… 
  • Come on Daddy… 
  • Sings “where oh where is shadow”, ring-around-the-rosie, wheels on the bus 
  • Prayers, “Heavenly Father, thank you for this day, love mommy, love daddy, thank you for Jesus, name of Jesus, Amen.” 
  • Maybe tomorrow 
  • Please (making the sign language) 
  • Elephant behind the TV 
  • Dolly wants Disney 
  • You are such a good talker. So smart. 
  • Dinosaur shakes 
  • Barney & ernie 
  • Dolly 
  • Haircuts 
  • Baths 
  • Play with play doh and draw 
  • Watching TV 
  • Somersaults 
  • Hide and seek 
  • “Do you have any crackers?” I don’t have any crackers! 
  • Dora the Explorer 
Bedtime routine: brush your teeth, prayer, music (muffin man music), white blankie, doggie blanky, elmo blanky, and yellow banky”

Breakfast of cereal; help mommy get your makeup on; alwasys wants to help with the chores (including the silverware)

Read books (parts, pirates, )

Abby pooped in the potty for the first time – twice in the same day – on Wednesday May 12.

Abbs told me a cute story the other day…Once upon a time there was a girl named abby. She played games. The end. We have a lot of fun telling stories together.

Yesterday, May 16, Abby seemed really quiet. I kept asking her what was wrong, but she wouldn’t say. Finally, she said really quietly to me, “I’m angry”. It was really cute.

Abby got her first water wings in Las Vegas on May 11, 2004. She loved to wear them and play, and is a real water lover.
