Abby is often walking a tight rope, balancing between silly/giggly and over the top silly! Her smile and laugh are contagious!
Last night she played the offertory for the first time on the piano at church. She practiced her song hundreds of times!! When they called her out of Awana, we walked to the main church building, as we approached the doors of the sanctuary she had a mix of silliness and nerves and started to giggle! Well, as Andrew used to tell me, "Mommy, I have a laughing disease, I can't help it!" Abby had a laughing disease, it was time to walk in and she could. not. stop. laughing!! I just did not look at her, because if I did she would start to laugh again. Finally, she got it together and she walked in, her and another sweet little guy played their songs and out they ran, smiles from cheek to cheek!
She did a great job, but it really would not have mattered because the folks at our church love children so much they would say "AMEN" and praise them for having the nerve to play the piano, good or bad!
After being so nervous as she ran out (of course after getting candy from Papa Jack) she looked up at me and asked how did I do? I responded, Great job Sweetie! She smiled and asked when do I get to play again? So, I guess it wasn't as bad as she thought!!
