There are times when I forget that Abby is quickly growing up. That she's not a "baby girl" anymore despite the fact that I continue to call her my baby girl. Case in point;
Friday afternoon we received a package in the mail. It was a popcorn box that was shockingly devoid of popcorn. It did, however, have a couple of gifts for the girls from one of my blogging bff's that Sassy Suzel, so I won't complain too much. The gifts I took and tucked far under the tree. It wasn't long before Abby noticed them way back in the corner.
"Yay!! Santa was here! Santa was here!"
Amazingly enough this is as far as it went. I was waiting for her to ask to open the gifts, but she did not. She didn't even attempt to climb under the tree to give the box a shake. In fact she seemed like she forgot all about the gift immediately. Wow, thought, she really is growing up.
Fast forward 30 minutes. I am sitting at my desk when Abby comes around the corner with her gift in hand. She holds it out to me so I can take a look, "Mommy, this one has my name on it. It really does."
Crap. Show of hands if you forgot she can read now. No? Just me, huh.
