Abigail Grace, you make me smile! You bring laughter and joy to every room you enter. It may be all the sassy attitude you have in you but you make so many people smile. Even when I am upset with you it is very hard to stay that way for long. You know how to make me laugh with you. The hardest part about getting on to you is keeping a straight face. Literally! I can be getting on to you for whatever you have done and you will turn around, look at me and say the funniest things. All with alot of attitude of course. My favorite one so far will have to be this one. A few weeks ago we went to Pawpaw Jerry and Nana's house. I asked you to clean up your toys so the dogs would not chew them and of course you "forgot" how to clean up. You see this is an everyday battle with you. After 15 minutes of telling you to clean up I had enough. I looked at those big blues and tell you I am going to get a paddle and spank you if you do not clean up this mess. Well, here is your reply: "Its not a paddle, its a flyflap." It took all I could do not to laugh. And yes after I went to the kitchen and laughed to myself you got the flyflap on your leg.
One of my favorite tv shows is the Golden Girls. And one day you will tell me how lame I am for watching it but I want you to know that you loved our Monday night Golden Girls date! We would go get in my bed and watch the Golden Girls until we fell asleep. Sophia is the spunky little old lady that start every story with "Picture This Sicily 19 something." And now my little one mom with steal that line for you.
Picture this, March 26, 2011; 6 am. You wake up from your sleep and walk into the living room wearing one of your creative outfits. White panty hose and your princess sleep shirt. Your hair is standing on top of your head because I swear you sleep on your head! And your words are: "Do you like my outfit?" Who wouldn't love your outfit! And that very morning a great big smile came to my face! And just when I thought your outfit could not get any funnier that day you proved me wrong. I am sitting on the couch feeding Anabeth when I see you peek your head around the corner of the hall. My first thought was what did you do! After coaxing you to come out of your room you came skipping out it the funniest out I had ever seen on you. You had on a light blue Cinderella shirt and this is the kicker, red snowman shorts. Did I mention those red snowmen shorts are for the Frosty the Snowman you built at Build-A-Bear! Now how you were able to put those shorts on I have no idea because they were pretty tight. But that day I laughed with you about your outfit of choice.
You have always loved clothes and shoes. I think you get that from your Aunt Tab. :) You will change clothes all day long if I would let you. There have been days were you changed 6 to 7 times. No wonder my laundry is enormous! You outfits will go from one extreme to the other. And no matter how hard I try to help you match your clothes you always tell me "it matches, see!" And that is when I back away and let you wear it. It is no worth the battle. You are only expressing your creativity and who you are. I hope you never let people change your personality. Whether it is through your clothes, your spunky attitude, or your touching words of I Love You. Be yourself because you have a gift of bringing happiness and joy to so many people.
P.S. Yes I do have pictures of these creative outfits that you will hate when you get older! I think that they will brought out when you start dating! :)
