our daughter the shark


so sharks? they have to keep moving at all times or they'll die. also? abby. she apparently has to keep moving and also making noise at all times, or she will also die. the only exception to this rule is when sesame street is on. then she's not a shark anymore. if it were just moving and talking, i could handle that. but it's not. it's jumping, flailing around, and spouting all sorts of gibberish. it's almost like she's gotten bored with all the english words and has started just making up her own. a typical exchange:

abby: "i have an idea!"
me or brian: "what's your idea?"
abby: "flhignaogmbodn jwodngd BWAH!"
me or brian: "oh."
(repeat a zillion times)

it's exhausting. :)
