So after Christmas, Miss Abby Kate became obsessed with the Little Mermaid. And actually, I am not sure how it happened. The obsession began before we even watched the movie. She just DESPERATELY wanted the costume. So one day, I talked to her about spending some of her Christmas money on it. We then looked on ebay and found this gem for $10. So we ordered it and she has asked EVERY DAY if it had came in the mail. Finally, today it arrived. She has spent the entire day "swimming" on her stomach and pulling herself around by her arms. She has taken to calling me "Flounder" and insists on being called Ariel. She even used her slide and slid down it on her stomach telling me she was "diving into the ocean. That is the ocean, okay Momma (pointing to the carpet)?
On another note, we took away the paci yesterday. I dreaded this day more than I could possibly tell you. But I had great advice and tried not to let her see me stressed. The Abby (paci) Fairy came and took the pacis we had left for her on the porch and left a cake in its place, which THRILLED her to no end. She did not do well without it during her nap yesterday but did famously last night, never crying and sleeping for 12.5 hours. PRAISE GOD! So thanks for all of you that were praying for us. They were felt!
*Oh and just an FYI, the little scab you see on her chin is from her very first bike wreak. She had gotten pretty confident in her skills and bit it last night. She has a skinned knee and chin and is now insisting we help her again, but still wanted to ride today (after an obsession with band-aids last night and this morning).
