Little Miss Abigail

My little almost 3 year old is out of the tantrum stage--thank God! and into complete adorable stage!  She talks and talks and talks and the things that come out of her mouth crack me up.  She loves to cook, bake or pretend to do both.  Here we are making donuts. . .
 and here we are making pita pizzas--she was so excited to make these tonight because Cailou makes pizzas with Jeffrey and Jason on an episode. . .of course, she always has to cook and taste test.  This was a pizza she got to do whatever she wanted to as we were done with the ones we were going to eat.  :)
 She realized that adding water to the rice was even more fun than just playing with the rice.  Only problem--water and rice = major yuk if not cleaned up and thrown away each day.  She always acts like she is making Ty food.  She just loves her brother--I really hope it stays that way, they are such buds!  He's been teething and was crying the other evening and she just kept saying "its okay Ty, its okay" and then when she was in bed and he was crying she told me to go take care of him.  Bless her little heart.

 Here's my goofball that thinks she is hilarious All. The. Time!  Even when she is getting in trouble she laughs!  Tonight she got total church laugh and couldn't stop. . .deep down it was cracking me up but I had to remain fairly emotionless so that she would start to calm down for bed.  I do love that she already has such a huge sense of humor.
 And my little girl prefers to be naked or almost naked most of the time.  Last week she got to spend quite a few days at Grammy & Grampys (which she absolutely loves) and it was warm enough (well kinda warm enough) for a "bath" outside.  Grammy filled the pool with lots of buckets of warm water and my little sweetheart decided she wanted to go inside for a bath as soon as Grammy was done filling the pool.  Thanks for all the hard work Grammy-welcome to my world!
 While we were in Olympia Marisa's neighborhood had a community garage sale so we decided to head over for a visit because Abby really wanted to see Ris's dog, Lady and follow Grandpa wherever he was going.  She also enjoyed riding on Cousin Don's bike. . .kinda thinking we need to get one of these things!
 For some reason putting on Mom's shoes is the thing to do.  I don't know how she doesn't twist an ankle when she does this.  She thinks she is so cute and funny.
 One last shot of my chef with a big smile.  She was so proud of her pizzas tonight.  I had a lunch appointment with a client today so I had our babysitter, Elliotte, come over to watch the kiddos.  I kept telling Abby ahead of time that Elliotte was coming over to play and she said "and Mommy too" and I just didn't really say anything in return.  Finally I told her I would be going to work for just a bit and she said in an exasperated tone--"okay"  I was worried there was going to be a breakdown when I left but she came out of the room and acted shy at first (for like 5 seconds) and then ran back and yelled "Elliotte" cuz she wanted her to play with her.  She then came out to the kitchen where I was doing a few last minute things and said "mommy go to work"--okay then, I'm outta here!  :)  It made me so happy.  She's just so dang cute lately.  She's soooo excited for another preschool summer camp next week.  It will be an art series.  She can't wait to see her teachers and friends.  She says their names and told me she wanted to go to preschool today so I think she is missing it.  She is also going to get a big surprise (well I told her today but I don't think she tuned in) that her cousins, Griffin and Sophia will be slumber partying with us this Friday!  I can't wait-I love when they are all together.
I love you sweet girl.  Thanks for being such a silly, happy, loving girl.

It really is a sweet post. I'm thrilled for you that Abby has come out of her tantrum stage. I feel like I'm standing on the edge of a cliff, holding my breathe waiting for Drew to start the tantrums! One month and he's 2! God bless that the tantrums are few and far between! Eeek! But enough about me!!! Again, great post!

I just love her in the diap and apron! So cute. 3 was a tough year for us as well. Tantrums are just par for the course. Just hang in there and try to enjoy the laughs instead :)
