The Call From Daycare

Yesterday a scary phone call from the teachers at Abby's daycare. First off Moms and Dad you can relate; when the phone rings and reads "Daycare" on the screen..."Oh my Goodness now what happened?" you think to yourself. She's fine, thank goodness. She said, "Abby has bumps popping out from her eyes all the way down to her feet." Bumps, I thought. Chicken Pox? No she said sort of a rash. But the way she described it I just thought monster like bumps. Abs is fine, it was a viral infection coming out of her skin, it's not contagious and no medication. Abby is great. My first question to the teachers though: Is she breathing? I don't know why..But I thought, llergic reaction and her throat closing up. Am I anal? No I think I'm just being a Mom; maybe a crazy Mom. Countdown to pumpkin patch picking 6 days! I can't wait, Abby loves those big round things.

Birthday Weekend

We celebrated my birthday over the weekend in Virginia and Abs makes birthdays so much more fun. Balloons make her so happy and just singing Happy Birthday 20 times makes her smile. "Again", "Again", "Again"---her favorite word. We went to Busch Gardens and Abby wasn't scared of any ride. Daddy put her on these planes that went up in the air with the bigger kids..Mom was scared. She loved it! And what's the fascination with my shoes? She loves wearing them. She just recently started throwing my shoes in the trash can....mmmm, maybe she's thinking I need new shoes, I like that idea!

Poop Update

Ross is in charge of Abby in the morning because I'm here at work..so he lets me know what's going on at home. Remember in the beginning of my mommy blog I always mentioned the poop. The emails I get from him in the morning say something like this: "Abby's good and she had a really good poopie this morning..." Still all about the poop. Will this ever change? When friends read this blog they tell me not to tell Abby when she grows up how obsessed I am with the poop, she'll be embarassed....but you know me. I'll tell her all about it and let her read it. It's a diary of our life with Abby. She'll enjoy it one day. Maybe not until she's 30.

*Webmaster's note: this stuff lives forever on the internet!

Throwing Food Monster

Some Crankieness: Eye Teeth. Abs just keeps holding her teeth. Thank goodness for ice pops; they work great. She didn't even get to the really bad teeth yet, the 2 year old molars. And throwing of the food; I think I mention that in every blog I write. Abs has officially turned into a throwing food monster! We say, "NO", she laughs. Then she feeds our dog and she thinks that's fun. If you have any ideas to help with the food throwing please email me sue@wobm.com. I just keep thinking is a phase...she'll move onto something else soon. Abs is such a hugger and loves to kiss. Is it possible to love her more and more everyday--YES! YES! Even if she's a little devil.

Just a girl on a beach.

Up, Up And Away!

Back to School week. Mom's and Dad's if this is the first time your little one is going off to school, OH BOY It's scary. Especially if they have to get on that big yellow bus. Abs is not quite ready for school yet although she knows what color a banana is. That's pretty cool. Let's see what's new with Abby. She loves saying the word UP. Everythinig is Up Up Up. And she runs so fast around the table. She just keeps going and going and going. Where did she learn to run so fast? I still can't get her to eat watermelon and she's not a fan of red sauce, so buttered noodles are her favorite. And what is up with the throwing of her food? I hope it's just a phase. And mashed potatoes in her hair...Yummy
