an update from Abby



So, now that I am 2, my mom asked me to give an update of what is new with me. We decided on interview format again (some of the responses have been edited to make sense).

Q:Tell us about some of your favorite things.
A:My favorite thing to say is "no like it". I say this even about things I actually do like, which frustrates my parents, but I'm 2 so that is my goal in life. My favorite foods are yogurt, Cheerios, pancakes, cherry tomatoes, ketchup and anything classified by my mom as "junk food." I especially like lollipops--mommy uses them to bribe me all the time. My favorite color is blue, as evidenced by the fact that I will only wear my blue pajamas even though I have several other nice ones. I don't really have a favorite show--I just love TV in general. Mommy doesn't let me watch too much though, but it's not so bad because then I get to play with my toys or read books. My favorite Disney princess is Cinderella, but I like all the other ones too.

Q:Now how about your least favorite things?
A:I don't like time out, especially when mommy takes away my blankie for time out--then I know I have been really bad. I don't like to be told "stop." Whenever this happens I lay on the floor and cry. I don't like boo-boos, the car wash or scary Halloween masks.

Q: What are some of your newest skills?
A: I can make lots of different faces (you can see my "mean" face above). I also have a happy face, sad face, surprised face, fish face and silly face. I can sing pretty well--I like the ABCs, twinkle twinkle little star, and Sweet Baby James (I sing this to my brother). I can count to 20 and I know my colors and shapes. I am also quite a good dancer. I have many sweet moves. Oh, and I can jump now too. I do that alot instead of walking.

Q: What do you think of your baby brother?
A: I think he's okay most of the time. He doesn't really do much, but I like him anyway. I like to sing to him and give him kisses and wipe him up when he spits. Sometimes I get mad when mommy spends too much time with him, and so I tell her to "put James in the crib." She doesn't always listen.

Q: What has been your biggest accomplishment?
A: Learning to say "yes", "please" and "thank you" without being told. My mom and dad were very proud of me when I finally started saying these things on my own, especially "yes" because they were really tired of hearing "no" all the time.

That's all for now. Until next time...

Abby

Abby,
It was great to hear how you're doing! Thanks for the update, especially for those of us far away who haven't seen you in a long time. Keep saying "yes" and "please" a lot and don't be too hard on your mom when she has to spend time with James - he's only a baby! Have a Merry Christmas and say hi to your parents and brother for me.
Love,
KKS
