31 for 21: Story Time

For the last few months, off and on, she'll ask you to make up a story to tell her.  I have to tell you that this is not my favorite game to play.  I don't feel very creative with my stories.  I feel like that's Dave's department.  He's the creative writer type, I'm the creative scrapbooker type.  Anywho, she kept asking me all day, and how can I say no to that cute curly hair girl.  I told her several stories today, and I guess they weren't that bad 'cause she kept asking for more.  Then at bedtime she didn't want me to read her a story she wanted me to tell her another story.  Only this time it was super cute, because when I finished my story she said she wanted to tell one.  Oh, it was so adorable!  She took parts of my story and switched them around to make it her own.  It was so much fun to hear her tell stories.  She made up 2 more after that.  It was the perfect end to the day.

Abby, The Smarty Pants

I cannot believe that Abigail is going to be 4 in May. She is getting so big. I love listening to her talk to Emma, especially when she's 'teaching' her new things. Last night she said, "Emma did you know that Jesus walked on water? I heard that in my class. Yeah, he did!" It was so adorable. (Now I'm bragging a little about her...) We picked her up from church on Sunday and there was a new lady working in her classroom. She said, "Wow, she is really smart. When does she turn 4? She is such a good listener and so well-behaved!" I was so proud! When we got in the car we started asking her about the lesson. She told us the story of Jesus meeting the woman at the well. Again, I was so proud! To be honest the millions of questions that she asks me each day start to wear on me, but then I remember that that is how she learns. I love to hear her curiosity about Jesus and God, it is so amazing!
I love this little (now big) cutie pie!
