One of the things that has warmed my heart as Abigail has grown is her increasing love of her friends.  She has always, always been a caring child, but now she’s reached the age where she’s learning to treasure her friendships.  Kayla is one of her very best friends.  They have known each other for years (their big sisters are the best of friends, too!) and it’s so much fun to watch them play and giggle together.  Kayla had her birthday party last weekend and Abigail declared it to be the perfect party – good friends and pony rides – what more could you ask for?

When Abigail and I were talking about the party, she told me that she and Kayla have made up a game that they play on the playground at preschool.  It’s called “Pony Power”.  She didn’t share the details with me, but I can only imagine the two of them running around, playing their own special game.  It makes me smile! I hope the two of them will be dear friends for years to come!

Abigail has decided that she wants a pony party for her next birthday. I think there were several little girls at the party who said the same thing!  We’ll have to see what Daddy says about that next year!
