A couple of nights ago you crawled into bed with me and mommy as we were watching TV. You fell asleep and woke up just as an M&M commercial came on. When you saw it you said, “Mama … it’s M&M’s! And they’re talking!” We weren’t sure if you thought you were dreaming or if you realized it was the TV, but needless to say, it was one of the funniest things ever!
An actual conversation between Abby and mommy:
Abby: Mommy … what’s the name of the clown at Christmas?
Mommy: Santa Clause?
Abby: Yeah. That’s him … Santa Clown.
We borrowed Cinderella from the library last week because you REALLY like the TWO Cinderella books that you have. I have now watched it, nearly all the way through, 3 times. Mommy is somewhere near 8 or 9 and you are at nearly 15 … I’m pretty sure.
I’d be a lot more worried about the whole thing, except that you are so funny when you watch it.
Yesterday we had a big show where you played the violin and sang. It was so much fun watching you, so I decided to sneak the camera to get some video of you.
