Last week, the girls and I made aprons to wear when they make crafts (also, to celebrate the week of learning the letter “A”). I hadn’t taken a picture of the girls showing off their aprons yet, so I decided to do that this evening. Neither girl took a nap, so Reese was too cranky to take one, but Abby Grace was ready and willing. She takes two really good pictures, and then asks if she can make a funny face. Well, she made several funny faces (check out the slide show at the bottom of the page).
The blog is actually about how she did exactly what her Daddy does every time we take pictures. I had to take a pic of him in his suit for the church website on Sunday, and if you look at the other slide show, you will see what was accomplished. He always takes silly pictures. Abby Grace has seen this, and totally imitated him tonight. We all had a good laugh, but as I type this blog, it makes me think about so many things. She writes backwards, is really into astronomy and the solar system, loves the Bible and church, changes her voice when she “reads” different characters’ lines, and makes up stories; all from watching her Daddy. It is really amazing what children pick up from the major influences in their lives. Despite having extremely selective hearing, doing things backwards (which can be charming at times), and being so stinking optimistic (says the major pessimist, here!), Shane is a great example of the kind of person someone should strive to be. I will be very pleased if my eldest daughter turns out like her Daddy (minus the selective hearing!)
