Abby is very eager to be just like her big sisters, trying to do the things they do like playing the DS or a Lego game on the XBox. Or you will find her building a house out of Legos with Emily. Abby enjoys making puzzles, but she often insists that I come help her make the puzzle even though I know she'll only allow me to put maybe four pieces together, and then she'll decide she can make it herself. That makes me smile. She also loves to play board games, especially Dora Memory. I don't even have to let her win; she beats me fair and square. Speaking of Dora, Abby still is a large fan of the little bilingual explorer. Abs HAD to have a Dora birthday cake for the second year in a row. I suppose that took the guesswork out of choosing what kind of cake to get. :-)
My favorite Abby-birthday moment was before we had her party. I asked Abby about a month beforehand what she wanted for her birthday. She replied, "A cash register from Runnings." !! A very specific request. ☺ Apparently she had seen the toy during a shopping trip with Gram Gram. Every time I asked Abby what she wanted it was always the same: the cash register. So we went to Runnings, and Abby took us to the back wall of the store to the exact spot where the toy cash register was. The whole scenario was so sweet and cute.
I love my little Miss Gooby!
Abby really enjoys reading Barbie books. Every time we visit the library she and I have to go to the Reader's section and find as many Barbie Readers as we can. Now she has her own. ☺
