The Art of Abbigail

What else is there to say about Abbigail... this kid has more personality in her pinkie then most people have in their entire body. Her smile says it all. A bit mischievous, a bit of sweetness, and more than a bit of knock you down, roll on the floor sense of humor.
This kid is definitely the comedian in the family. Sometimes I think I am raising a boy... the fart humor, her super-human strength (she can take Ella down without trying), and of course... her beautiful artwork. This face surrounding her belly-button was done with a permanent marker. Explain that to the doctor.
And unlike Ella, she is very independent. She wants to do everything on her own. I tried to help her at Chuck E Cheese... but she just wouldn't have it. She gets dressed on her own. She pours her own drinks. She washes her own hair. She even likes to do the dishes. Of course... that independence comes with quite few mishaps, but the kid is learning - and FAST!
But as much as she may be tough as nails, a little "gross" at times... she is definitely a girl. The singing, the dancing... and of course the princess costumes, the high-heels, and the makeup she must put on every day proves just how much of a girl she is.
When she first started putting on makeup it was a bit sloppy. I went through several tubes of mascara. But Grandma Kuu was a big help.
Eventually my beautiful princess learned the art of blue eye-shadow and now knows how to expertly apply just the right amount. :)
Of course... there are still days she finds the mascara and goes a little crazy and it takes more than soap and water to clean up those messes.

Every day is an adventure with this crazy kid, and I will gladly clean up whatever "mess" she brings our way.
