Near the first of October, we took Abigail to a Corn Maize. First we made sure to have her do the “insert head into cutout”
With pumpkins
She loved feeding the animals: goats, sheep, donkey, chickens, ducks, pig
They also had the cutest little baby maze made out of stacks of hay. I think she could’ve spent hours playing hide and seek
Here’s a short video clip of her playing in the maze.
Then, she took her first hayride out to the pumpkin patch
After that, we did the actual corn maze, but she wasn’t such a fan because it was dark, and we had to hold her. But she loved the animals and the baby maze. And it just so happens that we’re going again tonight with Jonathan’s work.
Ever since I stopped nursing Abigail, Jonathan and I have had a night time routine with Abigail:
Give bath
Brush teeth
Sing a few songs
Read “Goodnight Moon”
Pray
Sing “Goodnight [Abi]“
Say “I love you,” give kisses, and put her in her crib.
For the past 5 nights or so, we started having her “repeat” a prayer, which is so totally cute to hear her. Due to her MeMe’s suggestion, we recorded this video of her repeating a prayer. Notice this sentence,” Thank you [BURP] for today.” What a cutie.
So tonight, when I said, “Are you ready to say an Abi prayer?” She jumped right in and said (not repeating) . . .
Dear God [Jonathan and I both looked at each other like, "WHOA"],
Thank you for Sissa (what she calls Sabra).
Thank you for Sissa.
Thank you for Jesus.
Thank you for PapaBon.
Thank you for GramB.
Thank you for Pa Pa.
Jesus Name, Amen.
Jonathan and I were dumbfounded. We didn’t know she had it in her. It was so precious to hear her!
[I know I have tons to update on: like Halloween, Abi reading books, pregnancy, etc, and I will try to get around to those posts soon. Maybe tomorrow while she's napping? Stay tuned.]
