Sweet Summertime

Posted byShawnNJenniferPosted inUncategorized

We have had a fun summer and hope you all have too!

We got a new puppy named Isla
(pronounced eye-La). She is a Scottish Terrier.
We had a fun Fourth of July.
Of course she had two patriotic outfits.
We saw fireworks. Abby wasn’t a big fan of them even with her headphones on. We will try again next year.
She loves wearing dresses and really won’t wear anything else.
Even in the sand box—she is wearing a dress.
We have a zoo membership and have been there many times this summer. Our zoo has a splash pad so some days we just go to play in the water.
I tried to get her to feed the giraffe but she wasn’t sure about it. She is very cautious by nature and prefers to sit back and watch instead of jumping in to a new activity.
We have gone to the zoo several times with her best friend, Ivy.
We went berry picking as a family one weekend which was fun. Abby loves blue berries!
We go to the library at least once a week—usually more. A few weeks ago they had princesses at the library and Abby got to meet all of her favorites!
As I said before, she is very cautious and it took her the whole event to warm up to saying hello to Anna and Elsa (from Frozen). I was so proud of her! She was afraid but keep trying because it was important to her.
This was her first attempt at talking to them. We probably went back 6 times and waited in the line to talk to them. Each time she got a little braver.
By the end she built up the courage to hug Elsa! Elsa thanked her for the warm hug and Anna announced to every one that Abby was a very brave princess! Abby was so proud of herself and keeps talking about the experience. I can already tell that it is helping her be more brave in other areas.
Abby is planning on being Elsa for Halloween and having a Frozen themed birthday party. We watch Frozen almost daily in our house.
