Abby and Olive, Four Years Old
Abby
Blowing bubbles
Crying
Doctor tools on the coffee table
Energy
Fighting
Grandpa's gum
Hide and seek
I spy with my little eye
Jelly sandwiches
Kitties
Laughing
Mimi's house
No
Olive
Play-doh
"Quiet, the baby's sleeping!"
Running, running, running
Swings
Training wheels
Under the dining room table
Vanilla ice cream cones
Washing dishes
Xtra
Yellow crayon
Zipping it myself.
Second try:
Abby and Olive, Four Years Old
Abby is
Blowing bubbles, then before you know it,
Crying over the
Doctor tools on the coffee table. So much
Energy, and sometimes
Fighting, ended by an offering of
Grandpa's gum. Playing games of
Hide and seek and
I spy with my little eye. For lunch,
Jelly sandwiches; grape, please.
Kitties lounging on the stairs scare us, but then we
Laugh and fill their food dishes. Not scary.
Mimi's house is where we seldom hear
No.
Olive is careful with her
Play-doh.
"Quiet, the baby's sleeping!"
Running, running, running, then to the
Swings. Pink bikes with
Training wheels. Camping
Under the dining room table. Time for a treat of
Vanilla ice cream cones. Making a puddle in the kitchen
Washing dishes. More
Xtra gum. We both want to color with a
Yellow crayon. Now. Can you
Zip it yourself?
