Abigail - Enjoying Pre-School and Making Friends

It has been awhile since last post, but life gets busy and fun!  Well, Abigail now is in Pre-School for the past year and she will be starting Kindergarten next year.  Boy, Oh Boy she is growing up fast.  I had friends telling me this when she was still a baby and I said no way... well I am now seeing the reality and it is quite true!

Four years old, talking (non-stop, unless sleeping), walking (sometimes) and running (alot!).  But that is ok!  I know at the end of the day she will be tired and ready for sleep, not always the case.  She always enjoys story-time whether the Mrs. or Me.

She gets a variety of books, (Curious George, Madeline, Clifford, etc., too many to remember).  It is a great thing to have public libraries, for books, music and story times.  My wonderful and beautiful wife goes with her most of the time, but she likes to have daddy time at the library also.  This has really allowed us (Mr. / Mrs. ) to help her grow mentally and vocally.  Reading and speaking with her daily has helped her to grow and develop her speaking abilities.  She use to be really shy, but it didn't take long for her to open up to people.  This was a good thing, because we wanted her to grow gradually of not walking up to strangers and start talking.  Keeping it safe.

Abigail has now turned into a social butterfly with her friends (neighborhood & school) and making new friends.  When we go to the local farmers market and park she stays with me and we gradually speak to some people we know and get to meet new people.

When it is time for the park, the doors are wide open....:)  She walks up to other children and asks nicely if they would like to play (some parents sometimes stand there in amazement of her boldness)!

I will continue to love her and teach her to be kind to others in her words and actions.  There are so many children that don't get enough love and attention.  There is a balance in disciplining properly and showing love so there is no anger and bitterness.

That is what the Mrs. and Myself endeavor to do everyday!
