HOORAY FOR ABBY!




Last Thursday, 7-19-07 was party day for Abby's swim class. She has been amazing. She started out the summer in the preschool class and advanced to level 1, then she passed the level 1 test and will be in level 2. The test was the day before, but you have to love Cleveland weather (better than Utah). It rains all the time! And when it rains, it really rains.

Here is a before the class party picture and then during the rain they still played.

Now I'm not sure if you can see it well, but the 2 girls in black swimsuits are Abby's teachers. The dark haired one reminds me sooo much of my old college roommate Jocie. Even her behaviors are the same. It was nostalgic watching her teach Abby.


Next Day...


Look, Abby wrote her own name!!
So my dear daughter is very smart. She is athletic, funny, and a quick learner. Except that she won't let me teach her anything.

I've been trying to help her practice her writing her ABC's, spelling her name, learning songs and she just won't do it. But if someone else teaches her then she does fabulous.

I was sitting at the computer typing away and Abby got so excited that she wrote her own name. She jumped up and down and was so proud, she couldn't wait to tell dad. I thought it would be a good time to help her practice, nope she decided she didn't want to do it anymore. So maybe another time...

Day Family Blog said...

I had forgotten that you guys were moving so far away. Do you like it? Is is hard being away from family, of course it is. Are there a lot of members near you guys? I can't believe how old Abby looks. That picture of her as a princess looks like she is 5 at least.

Are you guys going to make it to the Sorenson reunion, probably not cuz that is really far away. Well I am glad that you started this blog because it will be nice to keep in touch especially since we won't be seeing you guys at all the family functions. I will miss you, I always felt really comfortable around you and it made Sorenson reunions less stressful. Anyways good luck.
