Abbie Rae

This is my ABBIE post! She has been a very busy girl lately and we've taken a few pictures of her to share her latest activities and accomplishments! It's very challenging to be Abbie's Mom but so very worth it! She brings lots of joy along with all the drama she likes to create! Today however, the drama was my fault. You see, Abbie was at school and Kallie fell asleep watching a movie so I took the opportunity to read a little. Well....... The next thing I know, the phone rings and I didn't wake up in time to answer it but I looked at the clock and it was well past the time when I needed to be outside to get Abbie off the school bus. I ran outside and my neighbor told me that the bus had just left. So I checked my messages and the school had called to tell me that the bus company called them to let them know that nobody was there for Abbie and they would be bringing her back to the school at the end of their route! So I called the school and they told me I needed to come to the school to pick her up and all would be well. So I went to the school and waited for her to come. When she arrived she was quite sad and clung to me like I had abandoned her for years! I almost burst into tears right then and there! I told Karlo that I owe her ice cream and whatever else she wants for weeks to come because I feel so horrible for not being there when she tried to come home. Abbie told me that the bus driver even had her come and knock on the door, which, of course, was locked! AHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! I apologized very deeply to Abbie and so far she has forgiven me, but I'm sure she will keep this incident in her arsenal to use whenever she needs to send Mommy on a little guilt trip! Anyway, Enjoy the pics and until next time.......
Abbie is finally overcoming her fear of her bike!!!

This was at the circus! We were watching the 4 motorcycles in a big steel ball and she loved it but she never has liked loud noises much!(Even though she is the loudest person I have ever met!)

Abbie had a pajama day at school so we decided to braid her hair the night before so it would be crimpy in the morning! It was a long process to put in 25 braids!

But she looks so beautiful.

We did her hair this way again just a couple of days ago and Abbie picked out a really cute outfit to wear. When she went to school her teacher said, " Abbie, I love your hair!" and Abbie replied, "Yeah, but wait til you see my clothes!" (She had on a jacket) Our Abbie is always good for a laugh!
On the 8th, I got to go with Abbie to her preschool for a special Mother's Day breakfast. The kids served us cinnamon rolls and fruit. Then they had a talent show! Here's Abbie reading a book for her talent. She's such a great reader, but that was a very long book she chose!

Then the kids sang us this song that they had prepared! They are so cute!
