We're adjusting to life now that "Mama not go to work." She loves this idea (and so does Mama) but really doesn't understand when she still goes to daycare (and it's simply because after all the crying she does have a good time and we're all paid up through July!). She has a new favorite song she calls Blue, Blue, Blue. She told us about it one evening and much to her dismay (which led to our dismay) we didn't know which song it was. We played songs that had to do with Blue, no. A Laurie Berkner song that says Moon, moon, moon; a very exasperated no! How about Bluebird on my Shoulder--oh goodness no! Finally, a few days later we asked the woman who runs her daycare and she sent us the lyrics which led us to a YouTube video of a very sweet song. "What color is the sky? It's blue, it's blue. What color is the sun? It's yellow, it's yellow. The sun is yellow, the sky is blue, it's blue, it's blue, it's blue. (and so forth with other hues). The kid knew what she was talking about and thankfully we now know too!
We also got to visit Jones Beach (above picture and more here) and its pool. She is a water baby. In the foot deep pool she threw herself around and pretended to be Ariel swimming under the sea. It was such an incredible pleasure to see Abigail have such a joyful time in a pool Amanda had visited as a child.
It's been incredible seeing Abigail continue to blossom, now into an inquisitive, strong, opinionated little person of the world. What a joy.
