Abbyism of the Week:

Several months ago, we were reading Abby's book A is for Abigail by Lynne Cheney (a book about all the wonderful things women have done in our country). It goes through the alphabet and describes female characters who have contributed something to the nation. "L" is for Julia Lathrop who was the first head of a government bureau focused on children. While we were reading, Abby said she really like that name and that one day she would name her daughter that. I thought it was cute, but thought nothing more of it.

A few weeks ago we were talking in the car . . .

Abby: When I grow up, I am going to have 4 children. The first will be a girl and I will name her Julia Lathrop. Then a boy named Charlie and 2 more girls, Aurora and Isabel.

I couldn't believe she remembered saying that, much less remembered the whole name! She thinks Julia Lathrop is one name because she said her full name would be Julia Lathrop Jayne Buchanan. What a hoot!
