Big Changes for Abbey!

This has been quite a month for little Abigail. First, she transitioned from the "Frog" room to the "Tiger" room at daycare. It seems like every time she moves to the next room, she just explodes with new abilities (good and bad!). The biggest change is that they have potties in the Tiger room, so she gets frequent chances to try her luck on the toilet. We're very proud to announce that things have gone spectacularly! In the evenings and weekends, she now lets us know when it's time to go, and she takes care of her business with a smile (and a few vigorous, self-assuring "Yeah, Abbey!" cheers).

In the Tiger room, most of the other girls wear pigtails. To daddy's delight, almost overnight, she decided that she wanted pigtails, too, and stopped pulling them out. We just love it... she's so adorable!

At home, little sis is due any day now, so we decided it was time to make the move to a big girl room. We've been working on her new room for several months, since we're going to redecorate the nursery for the baby. She adjusted almost immediately, and now falls asleep with no trouble at all. If she would just move from sleeping on the floor to the bed, I'm sure she'd be more comfortable... I guess the ability to make decisions like that are the essence of her becoming a "big girl".

It's hard to believe that I'm sitting here writing this on our 4th anniversary... time certainly flies. It's hard to believe how things have changed in such a short time!
