A couple of tidbits of information about Abby at five:
She can read... Yup, She really can! Not all words but a lot of words and she is getting better and better every day.
She ADORES her American girl dolls. In fact, the other day she was asking me if we had a new baby, where would he sleep if it was a boy (if is a girl she would be in her room of course)... and I told her we have a spare bedroom next to her room that would be perfect. And then she looked at me all confused and said "but that is Kit and Ruthie's room!" Well how dare I think of displacing Kit and Ruthie... I guess we will have to think of something else!
She lives for our weekly date at our local cupcake parlor. OK, so we both live for our weekly date at the cupcake parlor. Its sorta our thing.. we get a cupcake or a couple of mini's and have a chat in the quaint little corners of "The Chocolate" our favorite place!
She still to this day has never left her room after being put to bed. I mean never... occasionally she has to go to the bathroom and she gets permission. But she has never gotten out without permission.
she loves the color purple. I guess love would be an understatement. Her world revolves around this color! Hence the Purple wall we drove an hour and a half to get to!
She is completely OBSESSED with her Daddy... One of the Many things her and I have in common.
Her memory is out of this world! I can't believe the things she can remember. Just the other day she smoked me twice in a row at the memory game 24 matches to 18 matches, and then 16 to 26.... and I was trying!
She got new boots yesterday... we got into the car, she was wearing them and she looked at me and said "I look hot". Yikes... thats not good!
She knows every single song on the radio.... I mean every single one! She loves to sing with me in the car at the top of our lungs!
She is kind and nurturing. I love that she shares, that she loves to play with other children so much. She tries so hard to do the right thing all of the time. She is such a good example to those around her.
I love this girl of mine so much. She is my best girlfriend and such an incredible blessing in my life. Being with her I am reminded that Miracles do happen. I get to live with one every single day.... She has such a light about her. I want to be better because I have her. I know my Heavenly Father loves me... because of her. I know he knows me... because he gave me such a special person to get me through.
I love you miss abby... Happy Birthday!
