Abby is a big fan of any type of Peek-a-Boo we'll play with her. This video shows her latest version. The best part is when she cracks up laughing after Peggy says "Abby"....listen carefully.
COUNTDOWN: Only four days until Abby's birthday! I can't believe it's been almost a year....where did the time go?!?

Thankful Thursday, week 2
It's time again for Thankful Thursday.
1. Our service men and woman. Thank you for fighting for our freedom. You can send a card from this website for free. Please send them your support.
2. This song I know that sounds silly. But it is always playing on my way to work at 1:30a on Saturday mornings and it keeps me awake. I just think it's beautiful, the lyrics are silly but I still love it. This is also the song Abby is dancing to in the post below.
3. PAT - Parents as Teachers, I've written before about the awesome free program we have in our school district that allows us home visits from a parent educator multiple times during the school year. Yesterday, we met with Ms. Betsey for Abby's one year appointment. She is ahead for her age group and passed her hearing test. She failed the first time.... she was very distracted by a book.
4. Leftover Halloween candy.... I mean does it get any better.
5. Carrots, finally today without hiding them in her mac'n'cheese Abby ate them. All of them. She has never been a big fan of the orange vegetables. I can usually get her to eat one or two if I hid because they are all the same color. But I don't know how she does it but she can separate them out from other food in her mouth and just spit the veggie out. It's crazy. So I don't know if today was fluke or if she's just finally decided they aren't that bad. Either way, I'm thankful she finally ate them, small victory.

Crabby Abby
So, I decided to retell the story that Peggy told a couple of posts ago. I didn't know she had posted that. Looking at the pictures she put up, I decided that they didn't do the meltdown justice.
So, here's what happened. Abby got up monday around 5:50. We have to leave by 6:15 to get to school on time. So, I got her changed, and tried to suck out her nose (she HATES getting her nose cleaned out) on the living room floor. After that battle, she was happy as could be, so I decided to put on her jacket and shoes at 6:05 before i finished getting ready. Boy was that a mistake! I got that finished and went to get myself dressed.....well, apparently Abby thought I should go to school in my sweatpants and slippers. She just sat there and screamed for the next 10 minutes. She has been throwing occasional fits like this lately, which we're trying to curb her of (we fear that this will turn into a much bigger problem soon if we give in to her needless whining!)....
So, I let her be. She didn't get up to come find me, she just sat there.....and screamed. So, I finished getting ready, came to see my beautiful baby, and found this (beware of gross pictures below....don't say you haven't been warned!):

Morning Meltdown
Dave is on his own 2 or 3 days a week getting Abby up and out the door for daycare. Most days Abby sleeps until about 15 minutes before they most leave, just enough time to get her dressed and feed before they have to leave. But for the past week she has been getting up extra early, so she's ready to go early. Today she had a bit of a meltdown, Dave put her coat and shoes on about 10 minutes before they had to leave, but she thought because she had her coat on it was time to go. So the meltdown began, plus she is teething so her nosy is very runny. These are just some of the photos Dave told me to look at when I got home.

The Little Things
It's all the little things Abby does lately that make us laugh....
I was brushing my teeth this morning, and Abby was walking from room to room as usual. I finished and went to wipe my face on the towel. Watching me, she promptly went over to the towel, grabbed it, and wiped the non-existent dirt/water from her face. I couldn't help but laugh.
She does so many little funny things like this lately. She definitely keeps us laughing.
What a great way to start a Friday!
