little girls are sweethearts

Emma has a favorite. 
It's obvious with her first word choice.

Abbie says the cutest things.
2 nights ago we were outside swinging on the swing-set before tub-time and all of the sudden Abbie started screaming frantically.  She froze and was screaming in horror.  I ran to her and she said "there's a bee on me, get it off! get it off!" (the girl was terrified).  I quickly brushed the hornet off her skirt and held her tight - calmed her down and when she was calm my little Abbie said "i'm sorry for screaming.  Next time a bee lands on me i'll just say: mama, will you please get the bee off me". 
isn't she darling?

and she's taken quite a liking to the neighbor's kittens. she asks me several times a day if we can have one.

Conversations with Abigail.

this morning i was pushing abbie on the swing and this is how the convo went:

A: "aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"
M: "don't scream Abigail"
A: "we only scream when we're lost, huh mom?  if we're lost in the forest, we say mom!"
M: "yah, that would be a good time to scream"
A: "yah"
M: "or we scream if a stranger tries to get you to go with them, we don't talk to strangers alright abs?"
A: "okay"
M: "do you know what a stranger is?"
A: "no"
M: "a stranger is someone you don't know"
A: "like a wolf, with teeth. and a dragon"
M: "ok"
