George!

Oh how I love Abby.

Yesterday I loved hearing her say "One, Two, Three, Four, Five....GEORGE!" and then running and jumping on Rob. It was too cute to correct her. (Charge!)

Leaking eyes

"You hurt my feelings. Mom, you hurt my heart. My eyes are starting to leak!"

Oh please!!! I think I actually said that and giggled a bit! Yes of course she was being a bit dramatic. Change that, very dramatic! I can't even remember what it was about!!!

do you think that maybe...

I have had quite the cough lately and have had trouble sleeping as a result.

Abby woke up one morning and it was super early (I think it was 5:20am) so I put on a show and tried to sleep on the couch. All of a sudden she said:
"um, mom, do you think that maybe you want to go to your bed?"
I laughed and said, "why, is my coughing driving you crazy?"
She said, "well, kind of."

What a girl!

So I went up and tried to sleep in her room. (didn't want to drive Rob crazy too!) I heard her thump thump thump up the stairs, opened her door, flicked on the light, and said "oh sorry, mom. I didn't know you were in my room! I just wanted to get dressed."

She got herself dressed. Then went thump thump thump back downstairs. Then thump thump thump back up the stairs and said:
"Sorry mom, I forgot to shut off the light!"

thump thump thump back down the stairs.

Very thoughtful!



Since Lochlan has been in the hospital battling pneumonia, Abby has missed her baby brother and has said so many times. Yesterday she wanted to come see him and I told her she would have to wait because I had to go to work. She promptly said:

"Mom, I have an idea! You can drop me off at the hospital and then you can go to your class and teach the children!"
