Abigail has really started using her imagination. She has had several really great stories lately. Here are a few:
Nathan's Deer:
Abigail and Nathan were playing upstairs and were actually getting along fairly well when Abigail came marching down the stairs proclaiming there as a deer in Nathan's room. Now, I know there was not a DEER in his room but I did want to make sure there wasn't something else so I asked her some questions and she proceeded to tell me that the deer was a dancing deer and when she played the little piano it would dance for her. Then as if she thought I truly beleived her she said, "I tending mommy!" It was quite cute!
Her Babies:
She was sitting on the chair at lunch time and we began a conversation with her about what she wanted to do when she grew up, when she informed us that she was going to have FOUR babies when she grew up bigger and bigger. She told us how they would grow in her tummy and that they would all come out, out, out, out! Daddy asked her where she was going to live when she got bigger and she said that she would live in this house so that Daddy and Mommy could play with her babies. We dismissed the conversation and after naps she came downstairs and informed us that Nathan was going to have FIVE babies for us to play with. So we are expecting quite the grandchildren in the future!
White Blueberries:
This afternoon the children where playing outside and they ventured into forbidden territory. Despite the reprimand that they got Abigail was so excited and was just chatting and chatting about these white blueberries she found and how she was eating them. This concerned me as I did not know what she was talking about and she proceeded to show me the white blueberries that she had picked and stated that these ones were still a little green so she wouldn't eat them yet. I saved them and showed them to Marion to see what they were and he said they were red cedar tree seeds. He proceeded to question Abigail about eating them and she firmly proceeded to tell him, "I tending!".
It is getting a bit harder to tell sometimes when she is "tending" and when she really is doing something but so far between Marion and me we have been able to get to the truth. We wanted to remember these funny little stories and thought the blog would be a fun place to share them. Hope you had a little chuckle with us!
