We have become friends with one of the families at Abby's school. Alyssa is in Abby's class and they just adore each other and play so well together. They invited us to go to Alyssa's grandmother's house for Easter but we already had plans and could not go. Alyssa's grandmother still bought Abby an Easter gift. Actually make that plural. Gifts. :-) Soooo incredibly sweet! One of the gifts was a set of Dora Explorer skates. Anyone who knows a 3 year old girl (or boy for that matter), knows that Dora rules the world. And Dora skates? Well, let's just say Abby squealed when she saw them.

Every afternoon, weather and schedule permitting, we take Lucy for a walk around our neighborhood. Abby gets to take grapes or apples and her water bottle. Lucy gets to attempt to scare every neighborhood bird or squirrel. I get a little exercise and we get to say hello to all our neighbors. Not a bad way to spend the afternoon actually. Well, for tonight's walk, Abby insisted on wearing the knee and elbow pads that came with the Dora skates. She got lots of adoring comments from each neighbor we saw. I have to say, I might just put them on her all the time as the pads just covered all the usual boo boo places. Here is my little fashionata.
