Today we went to church, attended our class and then preaching. Robert and I dropped Abigail off in the nursery before class and she screamed and cried for what seemed like an eternity. I stood outside of the nursery almost crying myself. She's going through yet another stage of separation anxiety. Mrs. Diane who was in the nursery today said she did great and she was all smiles when we picked her up. Class went well today and I was looking ahead in our book and next week looks like it's going to be a really good session, something I know I need direction in...Discipline. We have such a good group and it's so great sharing ideas and fellowshipping with everyone.
Today was about teaching obedience and different ways to help your child develop to their full potential. Something that really struck a chord with me was when we discussed how obedience is achieved when your child has transferred his or her primary love and dependency from us as parents to Jesus Christ. It is our duty as parents to make sure that our children know what faith is and what it looks like. If we don't model this behavior how can we expect them to do the same. A righteous child makes wise decisions, they keep commitments and they care genuinely for others.
Abby and I visited mom and I.T. for awhile this afternoon. Abby had her run of the house as usual eating popsicles, teddy grahams and her favorite snack ICE. This child loves ice more than anything. I know when I take her to the dentist for the first time he's not going to be pleased with me, it can't be good for her little teeth.
I know ya'll are tired of seeing Abby in her jammies but here are another set of photo's from before bedtime tonight. I promise to take pictures this week of her in real clothes! HA :) This first picture cracks me up! We were sitting in the rocker reading as usual before bed time and Abby got up, laid down on the floor, propped her feet on the ottoman and said "abby read down here"....I just had to grab the camera and capture this shot.
Robert and I were cracking up earlier as we could hear her in the monitor singing up a time. She was singing songs to Layla and happy birthday to Grover and Cookie Monster. We've heard her jibber jabber in the monitor before but never sing songs. It was the cutest thing ever. Love you Abigail. xoxo
Love,

We set this tent up in her bedroom and she has been having a ball playing in it.
Sounds like a fun weekend. We have been experiencing another wave of separation anxiety over here, too. It's no fun (esp. for daycare drop-offs), but it's nice to know we're not alone! See you tonight. XOXOXO
ReplyDeleteThat first picture is great! Her hair is getting so long. Can't wait to see you tonight.
