Today, after Church, Abby and Paul were helping put away chairs in a classroom as we are the last ward to meet for the day. Paul was taking care of the folding chairs while Abby went toward the 4 large stacking chairs as I thought, "Yeah right, Abby." So she picks up the first stacking chair and puts it against the wall. She picks up the second chair and easily stacks it on the first... I was in awe. She continues with the third and then the fourth! I could not believe what I was seeing. That stack got pretty tall and those chairs are pretty heavy and awkward for my tiny 4 year old whose height has always measured in the 5th percentile. Paul just said, "We do this every week while we wait for Relief Society to get out." I asked her how she got so strong and she shrugged and said, "I was just borned that way." WOW, she is doing all kinds of things I can't do these days... stack chairs, scrub the bathtub...
Tonight, Paul was watching a bit of football (yeah, I know that's not surprising news) and Abby was climbing all over him. I asked her at one point if she wanted ice cream and she said, "No." She climbed behind Paul and curled up on his back and wedged herself between his back and the couch. We just thought she was cuddling or trying to get warm as she insisted on wearing her favorite outfit... you know, the one she was "borned" with plus her soft underwear. About a minute after I had asked about the ice cream Paul asked me if she was asleep, and sure enough, she was out cold. It was so funny, we had to get some pictures. Even with the flash, she didn't stir. I guess stacking those chairs can really take it out of you.
