More letters

Today we worked on the letters M, N, O, and P! So we decided to try to write Nanny & Papa, since she has already worked on A and Y before:


'N's are tough!

Here is Abigail today, smiling after we finished practicing letters.

Telling stories

Abigail comes up with some really interesting stories. Here is one from this morning.

Abby saw a bird outside the window while she was eating breakfast.

She said, "That's my bird."

I said, "Oh, it is?"

"Yes, but I left it outside until I'm big enough to hold it on my finger." She held her finger out to demonstrate. "I used to hold it on my finger when I was in your tummy. Then I said 'Mommy, can I get out of your tummy for a minute?' So then I got out of your tummy and got a bird to hold on my finger again. Then I got on the floor, and then I grew & grew & grew....and now I can't fit in your tummy anymore!"

I love her stories, and I think I will try to write them down more often. :)

Working on letters

Abby LOVES to do activity books together. We work on numbers, letters, shapes, colors, etc...
Today we were working on letters, specifically the big letter D. She already knows how to write a big A for Abby, so once she started making big D she could write DAD. I told her how to spell it, and she was very excited to write DAD! So of course I took a picture-
Then we worked on adding another D and a Y. She is still getting the hang of Y.
In other news, she has been diaper free for a while now, even at night. I still put a pull up on her when we go out in public, because she is sometimes too scared to use big public restrooms. But she has stayed clean & dry for a while now, hooray!

I'm Mr. Who-Whooo!

Today Abigail found a blue thread, put it on like a moustache, and came in the room, speaking in a low voice "Helloooo, I'm Mr. Who-Whoooo!" LOL! Then it fell off of her face and she said "hehee it's just me mommy". Oh man was I ever laughing. I got her to put it back on so I could take a picture: Here are a few more from yesterday:

^Drawing a picture for Nanny
^Trying to poke the camera
^Brushing her long locks
^Getting ready to run "SUPER fast!"
