I had the joy of experiencing a truly great way to start my day and it involved Abby. I was sitting in the living room watching a show when Abby came to her bedroom door and asked for me. I opened the baby gate to her room and she ran out of the room (after gathering her bunny and blanket) and said "Good Morning Mama". I was pleasantly surprised to hear such a statement coming from this 2-year-old princess. She finds these little ways to impress me almost daily but this moment melted my heart.
We are experiencing our first "real" snow storm of the winter so we were all cooped up inside for the day. We managed to have a good day despite being indoors. Abby loves to come downstairs to help with Sammy and Leo whenever we make a trip down. It's not uncommon to hear, "help E boys", which means that she wants to help with the boys. This ususally entails at least 30 minutes of her playing with all sorts of kid and dog toys, eating dog biscuits (this she got from her daddy), trying to press all of the buttons on the computer (especially the off button) and then this trip downstairs turns into a struggle to get her back upstairs (especially if a diaper change is needed). What usually ends up working is some form of compromise along the lines of a sucker or M & M's.
Abby's day was rounded out with a great bath in which she got to go fishing for the first time. She had a great time and caught more than her limit which made her not want to get out of her bath.
Our adventure for tomorrow (being that we will more than likely still be on a weather mandated house arrest) is to have a picnic in the living room. We will try and post a picture of our family fun tomorrow. Please pray that our carpet survives and that at least some food ends up in Abby's tummy.
Today's picture is called, "Look at how many fish I caught!"
