Halfway to Four
She has finally outgrown and graduated from the church nursery. For the last two weeks she has sat the entire service in the pew with us.
This is an especially big deal because Jim and I play music for the first half and she has to sit quietly by herself.
Minus her forgetting herself yesterday morning and trying to dance in the aisles to one of her favorite songs, she has behaved beautifully.
I always have fresh “flowers” in my special mini vase on the kitchen table thanks to my girl.
I also currently have a tervis tumbler filled with a pipe cleaner bouquet as well.
She learns and sings new songs every day. She has such an ear for music. Just this week she has learned, “This is the day that the Lord has made” and “Open the eyes of my heart Lord”.
And maybe some new 90’s songs. I just discovered the “Boy Bands” Pandora station and well, I can’t help myself.
Recently, she sang Hark The Herald Angels Sing before bed. Every other line she sang in her special seahorse voice. It changed an octave, but it stayed in tune the entire time.
It was also hilarious.
Some recent Abigail quotes:
“I love wearing sweaty pants!” She was talking about sweat pants.
“Now, let’s learn about Cheetos” Cheetahs.
“Cover your mouth when you cough, don’t say gosh, and it’s ah-men NOT amen.” Aye, aye, captain.
“Mama, why are you talking to yourself?” When my bff Lauren was here visiting, I was in the kitchen talking to her while she was nursing Brecken on the couch. Abigail walked in and delivered that line.
Some favorites:
Movies: The Little Mermaid, Frozen, Cinderella
Shows: Curious George, Winnie The Pooh, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse
Food: Peanut Butter ONLY sandwich, berries, buttered toast, bacon, pizza crust, skabetti{spaghetti}, and water that MUST have ice.
Also if she’s really lucky, Schlotzsky’s or Chick Fil A are her favorite places to go eat.
Dear Abigail,
Love,
Mama {I’ll tack Dad’s name on too}
You hit the jackpot with that little lady! Seriously. I don't know what your doing but she's the sweetest, smartest, and bestest ever!!

Aww, it really must be so good to hear good things about your daughter from other people (because, I mean, we always think the kids in our own families are awesome…but it's really nice when others recognize their awesomeness!)
Such sweet photos! Such a sweet girl! And you, my friend, are a wonderful Mama. Doesn't it just make your heart burst when someone compliments you because of your child! Yay! 🙂
