Conversations with Abby

The other day I read a blog post on MomLife Today that shared a list of questions to stop and ask your kids in an effort to get to know their hearts a little more. The following is my interview with Abby. When we sat down to eat lunch together, you could see her little love tank filling up as I gave her my complete attention and looked into her eyes while I asked and she answered every question. It was a great reminder of just how much undivided attention means to our little ones.
