Isaac's First Girlfriend?

Elegant Abby

There is a little girl named Abby who lives down the street. She is very precocious and lovely and says things like, "Happy Pass - Over!" when you least expect it. Abby is also very shy and barely gives Isaac the time of day, though one can't really expect a 22 month old to tell the time quite yet.

"Pitcher Abby."

Even though she barely looks at him in person, according to Abby's mom, she talks about him quite a bit when they are back at home, like about how nice he is. And Isaac, just last night, asked to see the valentines card with Abby's picture on it that we have posted to our little bulletin board. He said, "See!...Abby!...Abbyabbyabby!" So I said ok, and went and got it for him. He looked at it for a while, and then kissed it and said, "Kiss Abby!", and then held it to his cheek and said, "Hug."

While I'm on the topic of hugs, Isaac's Grandpa David got him such a sweet book called "HUG", by Jez Alborough.

It's about a little monkey looking for a hug, and the Elephants and other animals that help him. Its very simple and to the point and inspires lots of hugging at the end.

Hugs for all!
