Early one morning Abby crawled into bed with me and said, "Mommy, I watched a bad movie." It took me a minute to figure out that she was trying to tell me that she had a scary dream. It is amazing to me how she is growing and learning to express new ideas. Abby loves doing preschool and goes around the house saying, "B starts with Barney, P starts with Peter Rabbit and Princess. Mommy, J starts with Jared!" She is struggling a little more with learning her numbers, but I've been checking out number books from the library and got her a number puzzle from the dollar store and she seems to be doing a lot better. She is still very obsessed with princesses, and in true Cinderella fashion she is dreaming of the day (her birthday) when all her dreams (a new bike, a big party with cousins, princess dresses, ice cream) will come true. In addition to princesses, Abby's current obsession is with being a ballerina. I think it came from the Angelina Ballerina books and movies that we got from the library. She is always begging to watch Swan Lake or the Nutcracker on YouTube. She also turns on music, puts her arms above her head and stands on her tip-toes and twirls around. Her favorite thing is to dance with Daddy because he can lift her up in the air. Her favorite place to show off her new dancing moves happens to be storytime. When they do the "shake your wiggles out" song, Abby gets up and instead of facing the storytime lady like the other kids, she turns and performs her ballerina dance for all the parents who sit in the back.

Wow, with Abby's hair so long she looks so old. I have to say, you'll have to send her to Aunt Rachel's so that she can develop a tomboy side. All this princess stuff is making me a little queasy. I would have expected more of you Mary. . . jk. She's cute as can be. I want to see some pictures of you though as well. ARe you showing yet?
I love how passionate Abby is. I think that will be one of her greatest strengths when she is older. I can't believe how quickly she is growing up and how smart she is (well, I guess I can believe the latter considering who her mom and dad are). When do you find out what you are having? We are so happy for you!
What cuties! Can't wait to see you guys.
Sounds like such fun! Elle is the exact same with letters and numbers and she even says "D starts with Daddy", the same way:). We should try out the puzzle idea. Hope you are feeling well. Elle would love to come visit for Abby's birthday...wish we were closer!
I love how she is so enthusiastic about that which she loves! That trait will server he well. : )
I can't believe how big she is getting!
