All For Abigail

As a new mommy (again!) I often get caught up in the busy-ness and new-ness of Tyler and neglect to do many updates on Abby. Even though we are having our jealousy/attention issues since his arrival, she actually has not taken it out on him. In fact, she can be a good little helper (when she is in the mood, after all, she is 2 with all the attitude that comes with!). I have to take a moment to tell you about a couple of "mommy" moments I had with her today that just made me chuckle. Abby often tries to comfort Tyler when he is crying in the car. She sounds like my little parrot. It's like a little Amy in the car seat back there. We often call Tyler a chunky monkey because he's well, you know, chunky. I had to crack up tonight when we were riding home and Tyler is screaming. Abby kept repeating "It's okay chunky boy!" in her sweetest mommy voice. It was the cutest thing! Also tonight we were trying to leave my parents' house and I was pretty frustrated with her because she was refusing to put on her coat. Finally, she hopped over to me, looked up at me with those beautiful eyes and in her most serious voice said "I a jumping kangaroo, mommy." How can you be mad after that?
