Conversations with Abby, continued

Sorry I've been so quiet here lately...I'm on uber-deadline and it's like pulling teeth for me to write anything besides the scenes I should be writing. But I should be done around Sept. 2, and then I'll be posting a TON! Until then...

The other day I was trying to get Abby clicked into her carseat. She was dawdling, playing around with something, and I said, "Abby, come on, I'm waiting."

She turned to me and said, in a tone that sounded oh-so-familiar, "And you're doing a great job waiting, Mommy."


This morning Abby was drawing and I showed her how to draw butterflies. She did a bunch, then made a long purple oval that was sort of flat on one side, and scribbled it all in. "What's that?" I asked.

"That's a raccoon."

"A raccoon? Really?"

"Yes. I loooooove raccoons. Because that's what butterflies come out of when they're born."

  1. Ohhh, those are SO great! Our local paper (twincities.com) has a section (Bulletin Board) every day where they print funny things that happen to people, incl. cute things kids say, and those would TOTALLY get published. She's awesome!!
