It was a big fall for The Sewells. In September, Abby started "school," well at least that's what we call it. Two days a week she goes to Mother's Day Out at our church, and she trots into the classroom with full confidence, pulling her backpack and never looking back. She thinks if big sister goes to school, why shouldn't she. The girls celebrated their birthdays in early October. Ana turned six and Abby turned three. Ana had four celebrations in all, including an ice skating party. Abby shared one party with Ana...oh the woes of the second child. But she adores her big sister, so no worries on her part. Ana lost her first two teeth, and the tooth fairy must not have been impacted by the economic crisis. Ana was an Eskimo princess for Halloween and Abby was a bumble bee. Abby has had some ear problems. They found a cyst in her right ear when they put a tube in and she had surgery to remove it. She is an incredible patient, and faces her medical issues with courage and patience. Makes it a whole lot easier on mom and dad. The girls are getting along so well, despite their different personalities. Abby's personality is gentle, and she's the orderly one. She's become very independent and tries to do everything on her own, just like she sees big sister doing. Ana is very creative, loves the performing and fine arts. Cares nothing about order, as displayed often by the condition of her bedroom. The girls seem to appreciate their "roles" of little sister and big sister, and protect each other from the mommy monster. Ana became a Girl Scout this fall, and she loves it. She's also in Nutcraker again this year, so keep an eye out for those ballerina photos on the blog in late December when I post a Christmas update. Abby takes Baby Ballet, but she can also kick a mean soccer ball. Who knows.
