Yesterday turned out to be a pretty eventful day. Alanna and Todd came by for a few hours to visit and play with the girls. I think they were surprised by how much the girls have changed in just the few short weeks since they last saw them. I know when I stop and think about how much Abigail has gained in the past few weeks I am amazed myself. A month ago she could barely put a short phrase together and now she is practically talking in full sentences. Emma was asleep when they got here, so when she awoke from her nap, I took her to potty. I told her we needed to go put on her big girl panties(I let them sleep in pullups incase of accidents) and she said, "No, Todd will see my boodie crack." I thought that was just too cute, since not only a month ago he was changing her diaper. After their visit, we took them to the park in Florence. Emma was pretty reserved and wouldn't play on the playground too much. She spent most of her time picking things up off the ground. GROSS! (For those of you who know me best...you know how that worked on my germ nerves) Abigail on the other hand was my little explorer. No fear, I can do anything and everything by myself. She even went down the highest slide all by herself. I went up with her, with the intention of sliding down together, but Miss Independent--don't know where that comes from--had to do it all alone.(I am afraid my baby won't be a baby much longer)
The differences between them are so extreme. It will be so interesting to watch them grow up. I pray that Emma's fear will not hold her back too much in life and prevent her from experiencing everything God has planned for her, and that Abigail's ambition and curiosity won't get her into too much trouble. What a great day!
