Taking Abby to UA Band Day

We took Abby to UA Band Day this weekend.  We are trying to indoctrinate her early!  Here she was watching the band of her babysitter Kristen (pictured below in the pit) and trying to find her on the field.

Abby figures out how to ride a tricycle

She is finally doing well with the tricyle.  It probably helps that they have quite a few for the kids to ride at preschool - and she watches the older kids ride them.  Nothing motivates Abby to try new things more than watching other kids do something.

Abby sings "The Wise man"

Abby's preschool has been practicing a song - the wise man built his house upon the rock - to sing on Sunday.  She has apparently enjoyed this quite a lot - she has been walking around the house singing it constantly.  David caught her on video today.

Then she insisted on wearing this shirt this morning.

Abby's first swim lesson of the year

It was a free lesson for training new teachers, so it was a little crowded.
