Abigail Grace-3 (and 1/4)

It's time for an update on what Abigail's up to lately!!!! 

First, a few pictures off my phone!

She had SO much fun splashing in the puddles!

Abigail is a GREAT big sister.  She always wants to hold Caitlin's hand!

My favorite new picture Abigail drew!  I LOVE her people!!!!!

What's new with Abigail at 3 (and a 1/4):

*She continues to be the sweetest girl!  She LOVES everyone...her parents, her sister, her dog, her grandparents, her aunts and uncles, her teachers, her friends!  One of my favorite times of the day is during prayers when she prays for EVERYONE (although it may be a stall tactic, but it's too cute to cut short) including every aunt, uncle, friend at school, Santa, his reindeer, her toys, the single ladies (I laughed at it once so it comes back nightly), etc....

*She can an amazing way of making you feel better if you are having a bad day.  For example at dinner she'll say "Thank you mommy for making this meal.  It's so good!" or today she was drawing and said "This is a surprise for someone I REALLY love...I really love you mommy!"  I also love at dinner time when she'll say to Rob "Daddy, how was your day?"  She really melts my heart!!!

*She loves school and is doing really great!  She's made a lot of new friends (and has her first playdate today with her friend at school).  She has learned a lot...my favorite is listening to her sing the songs the teachers sing.  She will often sing them to Caitlin, especially the welcome song when Caitlin gets up.  She also has the cutest song about "God is listening when we pray" that is adorable!

*She liked ballet and tap, but is ready to move on to gymnastics.  She is starting swim lessons next month and it will be the first time she does them with a swim teacher and not me.  She is also saying she wants to play soccer (may have been influenced a little by me)...

*She LOVES to wear dresses and tights.  She dresses herself most mornings when she wakes up and has a few standard dresses/tights or she gets dressed in her Belle Dress.  She's a girly girl!  She loves everything frilly, pink, and sparkly!  She does NOT like jeans..in fact her teachers are helping me by encouraging her to wear jeans!   :)

*We have been working on writing her name, which is confusing to her because after she does A and B, she wants to do C...makes sense!   But she is getting better at writing all her letters.

*Her people are the cutest ever!!!!!!!!  (see above)

*She is not too picky of an eater, but she still loves her fruits and vegetables the most!

*She has the most AMAZING memory!!!  She doesn't forget a thing!!!  It's almost eerie how much she remembers.  She remembers what everyone eats at meals, what happens at places, who comes with us to places, and most important things that I tell her we will do, get, etc!  Just last night I told her this weekend she was going to see dolphins this weekend and she went into a story about the time mommy and daddy took her to see the dolphin show and they did this and then mommy did this and then we ate this...it went on and on...and it happened like 9 months ago!  

*She is a great big sister.  She doesn't show any signs of jealousy, just love for Caitlin.  She wants to help all the time (and usually does).  She is always worried about her and thinking of her.

Abigail,

Daddy and I love you so much!  You teach us more than we can ever teach you!  It has been amazing to watch you grow, change, and develop your own personality!  You are such a beautiful girl...but you are even more beautiful inside than out!!!!  We love you and know you are going to do amazing things in your life!

Love, Mommy and Daddy
