- The girls over at Momma Blogga are having a group writing project, and since it's about our kids I thought I would join in!
- A few weeks ago Abbie turned 3! She has always been able to communicate pretty well with us. She started to speak words around 12 months and advances to full sentences around 18 months, so she has always been able to get what she needs. Lately, I have noticed that since she has turned 3 her memory seems to be improving greatly. Before she would sing the same song phrase over and over. Actually, the song was always "Jesus, has a Bible!" This had to have been a mixture of a few songs she had heard and she would just getter louder each time she would sing the phrase. Since she has turned 3, she has begun to be able to sing songs, from beginning to end. Including the chorus and verses. It is so fun to watch her learn and grow. The sad thing is i think I miss the "Jesus has a Bible" song screamed at the top of her lungs!
- The odd thing about parenting my kid is, she is not one of those kids that I complete her and she is learning from me. She is learning from me, but I think I learn more from here. She is so out going. There is not a person in the grocery store that doesn't know we have arrived. If some one does not notice she is there, she will announce herself. If someone needs help she will help them. If someone gets hurt she ask if they are ok. She fights for her rights. She is the one that makes me more out going, I have to talk to the lady in the grocery store because Abbie asked her how she was doing.
- Lately, we have been learning about strangers, because Abbie doesn't know any! So now the questions are "Is that a bad guy?", "Does that person want to take me?" She helps me see the class half full.
- She encourages me to stop and look for the moon and be amazed that God put it there. I now think even dying flowers deserves to be in a vase. I love this age, and having a conversation with my daughter. She has changed me!
I love that girl! She cracks me up pretty much all the time!

I love that you see that you are learning from your child. I think as we age and become jaded with the world, events, etc. we forget that magic we're born with and lose along the way...if only we could get everyone to stop and see the world from a child's eyes, I think we could be a lot better off.
What a lovely post.
Yous summed up your daughter's personality wonderfully.
I too am a strong believer that we have much to learn from our children.
I wasn't fully a woman until I became a mother. It is amazing. Lovely post. Great to meet you!
I still can't figure out how you ended up with the outgoing kid and all my kids can play the shy act so well. Maybe God is teaching me to be less outgoing? Interesting thought...
My son is way more outgoing than I am, too!
(Just FYI: MamaBlogga is just me!)
Thanks so much for participating!
My daughter has never met a stranger, either! She has made me a lot more outgoing, as well.
