Some of you are familiar with the struggles Abigail has had. In her first few years, she had to have several surgeries on her back, brain and kidneys.
I don't know if it is the result of her surgeries or her physical difficulties, but she picked up reading and writing quite a bit later than her older sister. Of course, her older sister began reading and enjoying the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings books at seven, so that is a bit ridiculous in itself. Abigail really picked up her reading when she saw her little brother was beginning to read and has been doing steadily better ever since.
So, on Saturday, she was in the 4H Cavy (Read Cavy as Guinea Pig) show at the U of A farm. The kids involved had to show the things, answer questions in a test about and have the things evaluated in a breed show.
Abigail was the Grand Champion for her age group in the test. Yayyyy! She called me while I was at work to tell me about her ribbon and she was so excited about it.
Anyways, she is also having a birthday tomorrow and we are glad to have her around.
