According to Abby at almost 4

It has been so fun to watch our toddler blossom and see glimpses of the little girl that she is becoming.  She is quite the go getter and is a very verbal little one.  Her teacher always remarks how happy Abby is to participate in circle time.  Translation: Abby is the one who talks a lot and we have to remind her to let others share too - at least this is what I imagine since at home we have to remind her constantly to let her brother talk:).  She is always happy to share about her day and talk about anything.  We have a lot of conversations at night.  Matt and I usually go in separately and she ropes us in to long games of rhyming or conversations about animals or whatever she finds interesting at the moment.  If you are lucky you get an Abby song which is a stream of consciousness put to a melody.  I LOVE these! It is so fun to talk with my "baby" girl and  learn about the world.



She is not quite as clumsy as she once was but she just charges life without hesitation;  running, and climbing and usually falling quite often too.  She told me they call her "boo-boo girl"  at school.  The first 3 days of school she got an ouch notice and I think they just gave up on writing the notes when they realized how often it happens.

I snuck in to preschool one day without Abby noticing me and saw her just playing with one of her friends.  I love seeing her develop relationships and know that she is adjusting well!

Abby is very proud of her plethora of art work that comes home daily.  There are some great projects and she is learning a ton but I cannot figure out what to do with all of it!  She is paying attention to coloring in the lines and really good at writing her name and working on the other letters and sounds also.  She is getting pretty good at copying letters and knows the sounds.  It is amazing watching the process of learning about reading and writing unfold in front of our eyes!  She loves trying new tricks and swimming and doing flips was one I never expected!  Check out the video:)
