March 28

I'm not sure why, but this afternoon, Abby spontaneously decided to write a story about Bear Bear. (You know, Brady's beloved teddy bear, with whom she's been ever so slightly obsessed for several years.) When she finished writing, she read it in Bear Bear's voice. It was completely demented, but totally hilarious.

I'm not surprised that she adores musical theater because she's quite funny. She has a real gift for physical comedy... well, for comedy in general. When she's not being sassy or talking back to me (or disliking me for looking at her through the wrong eye or breathing too much... she is 12, after all), she helps to lighten my mood quite a lot. And that's a huge blessing.
