Abigail wants to know often if things she does means she is a “big girl” now. It’s difficult to explain that no one particular thing will define her as a “big girl”. She seems to have grasped that concept though, so now she says that she is “getting into a big girl” when milestones are passed.<\/p>\n

Then this evening she told me she’s “not a big girl”. On the weekend I washed the girl’s sheets and when I remade her bed I asked her if she wanted to take off the side guard thingy now since she is getting so big. She agreed that she did. The first night was fine, but the next night we woke up suddenly when Stephanie yelled “Abby fell out of bed!” She had a hug and went back to sleep ok but obviously she was put off by the experience and decided that’s an area of bigness she’s not yet ready to tackle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
