Impatience....






Who needs to wait until Halloween?!  Bobby and I are notorious for instant gratification.  We never wait until Christmas (or birthdays, Valentines Day, anniversary for that matter) to open gifts.  We usually end up giving to the other still in the sack because, IT IS SO GREAT!  I JUST CAN'T WAIT!  OPEN IT!  HURRY!  OPEN IT!
So it seems our child has inherited our love and quick devouring of surprises.  She picked out this costume in a magazine weeks ago and has asked every day if it was ordered.  It came in last night at 8:30 (how weird is that?!  The poor UPS man) and we gave her a taste by letting her sleep with the wand.  Of course, as soon as she woke up this morning, she spotted the costume and squealed "IT IS SO BEAUTIFUL! I WEAR IT?!"  
So being the parents we are, we ripped opened the package and put it on her.  We went on a 1000 errands this morning all the while Miss Abby Cadabby followed me with her wand, sprinkling fairy dust every where.  The Wal-Mart cashier was mesmerized.  
So for those of you that don't know, this is an Abby Cadabby costume.  Abby Cadabby is the newest member of Sesame Street.  She is a "princess in training."  Our sweet Abby Kate has LOVED her from the first time she watched Sesame Street.  I said last year after her birthday that we MUST have an Abby Cadabby birthday party this year (Mrs. Phillips would be so proud of me!  Having a birthday planned a year in advance!).  It is only natural as we are living with a princess in training.  Not to mention their names sound pretty similar eh?
