new stories:

abby loves to "teach" asa things. she often has him repeat what she says.
abby: "i love you asa"
asa: (silence, no response)
abby: "asa, you have to say i love you."
asa: "i love you."
abby: "oh thanks asa"

another time she got silly in the car.. the following conversation was overheard:
abby: "asa, say car"
asa: "ca.."
abby: "asa, say bird"
asa: "bir"
abby: "asa, say tree"
asa: "chee"
abby: "say gagamogu"
asa: "gagamogu"
abby: "say agiga"
asa: "agiga"
it probably would've gone on, but i told her to stop :)

abby facts

Abby is now in the phase of loving Hannah Montana. I am working on posting the video where she can dance "Pop it, Lock it" all the way through and another video where she is passionately singing "The Climb."
Abby totally enjoys preschool. She continues to love to sing and dance. She has great teachers.
She at times can still be moody, but she can articulate her thoughts a lot clearer and responds to daddy's pinching! She will often ask her mommy, "Are you mad or sad at me?" when she knows she did something wrong. Most of the time she will say sorry on her own, but is still learning to be more consistent by herself.
Abby likes to color and is pretty good at staying in the lines. She does like to color things not the color they really are tho...
She can only write capital ABI so far for her name "Abigail." She can dress herself and has quite an eye for what matches and what doesn't. She chooses her outfits and shoes to match. She is a superstar at hula-hooping. She loves the beach but says surfing waves with daddy is scary.
