January 24 - Sad Abigail

Grandma gave Abigail & Caleb each a balloon to bring home with them from Big Pap's party. They held tight to those balloons all the way home...gasping in fear every time we opened the car door...afraid that they would fly away. This has happened to them a couple times, so they were being extra cautious.

We got home, Abigail got out of the car holding tight to the string....and the balloon slipped off the end of the string. The knot must have slipped. Abigail watched sadly as her balloon slipped into the night sky.

Daddy tried consoling her as we carried stuff into the house, but even after getting pj's on for bed, she was still sad about her balloon, and needed Daddy to comfort her. (he was able to get her to smile after telling her that her balloon is going around through the sky telling everyone Happy Birthday!)
