Abigali Rose

Abigail Rose likes to walk, the other day she walked all the way from our home to her own… about 15 minutes at her pace… every now and then she would allow David and I to hold her hands but mostly she would just flap her arms under her little pink poncho and hurry on in her own way. Yesterday I went around and picked her up to walk to our place to play for a couple of hours so Emma could get some stuff done unaided by her little helper. While Emma was dressing her up for the cold 5c weather outside Abi started to get excited so when we opened the door she couldn’t get out quick enough and as we started up the path her little face was full of smiles, she was shouting in excitement and her little arms were flapping away, she only turned back briefly to wave goodbye to her mother and then she was off…. Till…. A little boy aged about 8 walked by… she stopped and stared then as he looked back to smile at her she was turning around and running after him!!

I picked her up to walk around the corner and she craned her neck and wiggled and giggled only to find the little boy had now reached his home so was out of sight. I put her down again and she pattered off in her happy way… till… she spied a group of young teenagers playing ball under the ‘No Ball Games’ sign… Great she thought I want to play too!! Anyway after several other stops we made it to 188 and when she realized where she was she was up the garden path and waiting to come inside to play. Memo to self… Don’t suggest a walk with Abi when School is out LOL
