Weeee!
Cutie Pie
My name is Abby, what's yours?
Uncle Erik, can you buy me this pony?
Abby had her first trip to the State Fair last week, courtesy of Uncle Erik. He is a brave man. It was just the two of them, and she had a blast.
It was really the first time Abby did something like that without us. Emmy went to bed at about the same time that they left, so for the first hour or so, David and I just enjoyed the silence.
Then we started to wonder how they were doing. As much as we were dying to call and get a report, we managed t0 resist the temptation.
Later that night as I was tucking her in, I asked what was her favorite part of the night. "Riding the turtle and going in the bathroom" was her response.
Apparently, she had to pee about every 45 minutes, and poor Erik would take her into a porta potty and hold her suspended in the air over that giant, smelly hole. I can't image he enjoyed that experience as much as she did!
And isn't that just typical. He spent loads of money buying her ice cream, a pony ride, and several stuffed animals. She went down a giant slide and into the petting zoo -- but her favorite part was the bathroom. Kids are so funny like that. Sometimes it doesn't take much to impress them at all.
A big thanks to Uncle Erik!

I just read the blog. Thanks for all of the kind words - but I have to say that I've caught myself thinking about the fair a lot over the past few days. I think I got more out of it than she did just because I got to see the fair through her eyes, and with all of the great things that come with being a "grown up" THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING BETTER THAN SEEING LIFE THROUGH A CHILD'S EYES!
So thanks to both of you for "loaning" her to me for the evening!
