To say Abby was excited for her field trip is an understatement. She was so excited that she woke up super early and had herself up and ready before Joey or I even had our eyes open.
I woke up to a gentle tapping on my arm that just felt like Abby. I feel like each of my girls have a different way of touching me to wake me up. I knew immediately it was Abby. At first I thought it was the middle of the night and she was waking me because she couldn't sleep. As my eyes adjusted, she started blabbering away. Then I noticed she was wearing a hat and she was saying, "I'm all dressed and I even have my shoes on already and I put the foot spray in my shoes. I got my hat and all I have to do is make my lunch." (She had her whole outfit laid out the night before and had already labeled her lunch sack with her name, school, and teacher) She just seemed to keep talking, "I think I've been up since 4 something because I came in here and I could hear dad snoring."
I encouraged her to get back in bed with me. I think it was only 5am. Joey had just gotten up and was in the shower. She didn't last long sitting on my bed.
Her field trip was all of the fun that she hoped it would be. They walked to the High School where there was an Ag event. She got to ride a donkey and be in a group with her very favorite friends from her class. She told me all about it when she got home--how the mile walk didn't even seem that long because they were having so much fun and how she walked so much that day. Abby has more energy than anyone in our family combined.
