More Abby Kate Funnies...


Isn't she the sweetest thing?  I know I am a bit biased but her smile just lights up a room (I can say that humbly because it comes from her Daddy...it is one of the things I love most about him).  We have had so much fun together this week.  God has allowed more time for us to spend one on one which hasn't happened much since Bo was born.  So many funny things come out of her mouth.  I need to write them down daily, because I forget.  But here are some funnies from the last 48 hours...
We went to Target last night, just the two of us and had a ball.  We were looking at shoes and she said
AK:  Mom, these are cute!
Me:  Yes, they are!  Let's look for your size.  Nope, they don't have them in your size.
AK:  (picking up another pair)  Well, these are clever.
Me:  What did you say?
AK:  I said, these are clever.
Me:  Well, yes, yes they are.  (for all you Office fans, insert Jim stare here).

Instead of answering "You're welcome" after someone thanks her, she says, "No problem!"

Today, she had been asking me all morning to jump with her on the trampoline (for the record,  I CANNOT WAIT for her brother to get old enough to jump with her.  The old bladder is not what it used to be after two kids.)  So I had already gotten ready for the day and I didn't want my pants to get dirty so I pulled a chair over to climb up.  As I was climbing, the chair tumbled and I fell on top of it, gashing my back and bruising it horribly (Bobby asked me the other day how I had managed to stay alive after 31 years and after today, I really am not so sure).  I literally could not breathe for a few minutes and Abby Kate rushed over and said,
"Oh my precious baby (kissing me on the forhead).  Are you okay?"  After answering "yes, but give me a minute" she said giggling, "I can't wait to tell Dad about this!"

That is the best story ever Stephanie. I wonder all the time how I've survived this long as well. I gashed my forehead on the trunk of my car the other day just standin there. :) Miss you! Your babies are beautiful!

I love the "insert Jim stare"...there are so many situations where the Jim stare is the only thing you can do! :)
