* Abi continues to have a great love of music. She falls asleep every night with her headphones on, listening to her iPod. Her current favorite albums are The Lorax and Muppets soundtracks.
* Abi hates having shoes and socks on. These are the first items removed and thrown on the floor the moment she walks in the house.
* Quite the girlie-girl - LOVES wearing dresses, skirts and jewelry. If she can't wear a skirt or dress to school, she immediately heads for her closet to change clothes after school (usually into something sleeveless!)
* Abi is a great big sister. She is motherly, patient and loving and B loves the extra attention. She can be bossy at times but I appreciate her playing the role of 'Entertainment Director' to a non-stop, busy 3 year old.
* Loves to help out around the house, especially in the kitchen.
* One of Abi's favorite things to do is listen and learn from her Dad as he fills her head with random facts and figures about anything and everything. According to Abi, Dad is "all knowing" in our family. When I'm struggling to fix or figure out something at home during the day, I usually hear a little voice behind me say "You better call Dad".
* Abi is uncomfortable around anything medically related. She is still deathly afraid of needles, even if she is not the one getting the shot.
* She definitely inherited Mom's sweet tooth! Chocolate is still the number one choice.
Our birthday girl's day in pictures:
Someone is still not awake...even after a morning shower!
Ready to head off to school
And back home after a fun day!
Lunch Time
As a special treat, we got the Muppets Movie (or "Muffets" as B calls it) and the kids and I watched an afternoon matinee.
Arts & Crafts - one of Abi's favorite things!
Then we headed to Red Robin for dinner and dessert...
Strawberry Lemonade - another special treat which Abi finished in just minutes!
This was Abi's expression the entire time that the Red Robin staff sang to her.
Finally a smile! :)
Presents!!!
Showing off her new boots - thanks Aunt Peg!
One very excited girl!
She got a Nintendo DS - a gift that she has literally been asking for on a regular basis for over two years.
Happy Birthday Abi!
