Abby - Our Little Entertainer

Over the past few weeks, Abby has just really started amazing us with all that she is saying and doing…. She is totally listening to every word and breath we take and is constantly entertaining us! So I thought I'd share some with ya:

• The Moon As we were driving right after dark the other night, Abby suddenly realized she could see the moon from her car seat and said, "THHHHEEEEE MOOOONNNN I see THE MOON!!!!" As we drove, the trees would hide the moon and as I watched Abby, I saw such excitement as she saw the moon peep through the trees at her! With a *GASP* full of excitement each time, she would say, "OH! THERE HE IS!!!" and for several miles it continued, *GASP* "OH! THERE HE IS" pause *GASP* "OH! THERE HE IS, AGAIN" pause pause *GASP* "OH! THERE HE IS, AGAIN!" Then she had to talk to the moon, "I see the moon and the moon sees me. God bless the moon and God bless me!"…. "OH! there he is, again!" As we got off the interstate, we heard, "Bye Bye Moon. See you later. May May's house."
  
  
• The Teacher At dinner the other night, Daddy stretched his long arms, hit the blinds on the window, and played with the strings. Abby stopped eating immediately and pointed her finger at Daddy saying, "NO Daddy. Don't touch the blinds. THINKING SQUARE!" At school the thinking square is a modified version of Time Out. The kids have to sit on a little square of carpet to think about their inappropriate behavior for a few minutes. They do not like to go to the thinking square either! So this night – Abby wanted Daddy to go the thinking square for playing with the blinds! To see Abby telling this and then seeing Daddy's eyes get really big was just too much for me! LOL!!
  
  
• Miss Manners Abby walked past Lucy and said, "Excuse me, Lucy" in a tiny little voice. (Lucy is our dog) LOL!
  
  
• The Shopper Saturday morning playing in her PJs…
  
  

  "I'm going shopping – grocery store."
  What are you going to get? "Apples and bananas"
  

   

• Honest Ab-e AKA Our Lil' Southern Belle Sitting on the bed with Mommy and Daddy, Abby said, "Ya'll, I wanna lay down!" and she did!!
  
  
• The Procrastinator Lately, Abby has learned that there are more important things to do than go to bed at night and has decided that she needs to do everything in her power to get out of the crib and stay awake!! It usually starts something like this after we try to put her down: "Rock Rock, Pillow (meaning our bed), Dora(book), Sing Song, HOLD YOU, MILK, Potty (usually she is serious about this one though), Mommy or Daddy (whoever is not with her), Sing Song, Medicine. What happened to the sweet, little Abby that used to go 'night night' in a toady frog position as soon as you laid her down?!!!!!!!
  
  
• Our Sleeping Beauty J Abby's favorite way to sleep is her hands behind her head… whether in the crib or car seat!! Lots of logs get sawed like this!
  
  
  
  

• The Singer & Guitar Player Abby loves to sing and has gotten really good at singing Twinkle Little Star, ABC's, Old McDonald, BINGO, Barney's I Love You song and several more. What tickles me is when she plays the guitar at either of her grandparents' houses...she strums the guitar intently and sings Old McDonald constantly!!! She has been doing this for at least 6 months. What's even funnier is when she sees a guitar in a book, she calls it Old McDonald!! I definitely will work on getting a video of our little rock star to share with you!
