These are the days

Approaching the end of summer I wake up to cold in the air and at night we're closing our screen door earlier with the temperature change at night. Abby likes to have her jammies on at night again and the fan is off in her room more than it is on. It does sadden me a little to know this is my last summer just with Abby. The months to come will bring anticipation of the baby arriving and I plan to make these last months with Abby the best ever! I plan on showering her with love, teaching her all that I can, and be more adventerous. Everything I try to do already but I want to show her more of the city so we have our teaching moments and let her explore with her creative mind.

Here's a few pics of our relaxed summer days together. As a father of one I still can't believe how I'm going to share my same love for another but I know I will and everyone seems to say that same thing. What most people know or should know is that my daughter is different. I don't mean I think she's going to be better than every kid out there or that she's odd. I mean she carries a certain uniqueness that sets her apart from most children when it comes to imagination, gentleness and concentration. Abby can finish a 49 piece puzzle with little guidance and owns a 100 piece that she likes to attempt over and over. Her daycare friends she holds close to her heart and talks about them over the weekend and is giddy to see them on Mondays. Her imagination takes her to a forest with dinosaurs, then to an ocean with the whales and sharks, she had sushi with us two days ago and associated the seaweed on the sushi rolls with seaweed at the beach. I think its an exciting way to think and I hope she keeps an artistic look on life coupled with a strong work ethic through her older years.
