She Did It Again!

Tonight Abbey got straight out of the tub, climbed up on the potty, and did it again. I guess she is more ready than I am. She loved all the praise and attention. Yesterday we went to Toys R Us for the second time in her little life (you may remember the first time with the corn popper many months ago). After saying "I want" over 100 times she zeroed in on this little microwave. She has never eaten fried chicken, a hamburger, hot dog, or potato chips, and at first I was not too excited about it. But she was so ecstatic because it lights up, rotates the food, and dings. I felt that this should be her chance to choose. It was only $10 so that helped sway me as well. She pointed to the star on the Toys R Us bag and started singing Twinkle, Twinkle.
She is just so funny. She has created a new game where she stands across the room and has me hold out my arms and beg to hold her and then she says "No!" several times and then relents and runs and jumps in my arms. She also saw "Where is Thumbkin?" on Sesame Street and begs to play it over and over. She took her counting up a notch and started using her fingers too. She is just a delight in every way.

    Boy, this girl is now moving at wharp speed in doing new things! She can be so funny sometimes! Treats do help cement good behavior--if it only were not so!
    Lots of Love & Prayers!

    Congrats on the early potty-training success...sounds like Abbey is a natural. I bet you can't wait til she starts helping you cook for real!
