My Daughter II

My little girl is growing up so fast! I look at her and I wonder what happened??? That little Shirley Temple-curled angel is changing by the day! She is maturing and growing. She likes to help out in the kitchen, but, not so much with the dishes LOL!

I worried about the move and how it would affect all of the children. Of the four, I was least worried about my Abbi. She has been a social child from birth, I think! Her big blue (at the time) eyes stayed open and she absorbed everything! She watched everybody, too! She could track and follow practically from birth because she was fascinated by people.

She is still fascinated by people. She will get to know a person quickly and really is an excellent judge of character. You will know quickly whether she likes you or not! Abbi likes you, it is like a gift. I have seen grown men try very hard to get her to pay them attention. I have been told she is a ball of sunshine when she walks into a room. She has a smile that goes across her whole face!

For Abbi, moving to Iowa was no big deal. She was understandably sad about leaving her friends that she had known for years. One friend from the time she was 3 years old. Many who she had been in school with her whole life. However, she had NO trouble making new friends. She came home after school started and was immediately talking about all of her new friends.

We met with her teacher and discovered even more. She told us one would never know that Abbi had come from a different school, much less a different district or state! Abbi went into her new school and established herself. She became a leader and made friends. She is the same little girl she always was...just in a different place :)
