Averyisms

How have I let so much time go by without updating this thing?  It's so fun to look back and read! If you could compile my text messages to Matt and my mom and then add in my Instagram account you'd have a pretty good record of funny stuff Avery does :)  Here are some recent ones.

Avery started pre-school last week (what??).  Today her teacher told me that she was really sweet and was concerned about one of the kids that doesn't talk very much.  She was sitting next to him and whispering "Do you talk?  Do you use words?"  which probably came out more like "you talk? you use words, yeah?" I'm glad she is sweet and wanting everyone to feel comfortable.

We had another child!  (I'll post about that soon).....and Avery is being very, very sweet with her!  Avery is always wanting Riley (our baby girl) to have toys and blankets.  When Riley cries Avery tries to calm and will say, "It's OK Riley, You sad? It's OK."  She's the best big sister!

Avery was watching the movie Zootopia.  I went upstairs to change the laundry from the washer to the dryer and Avery followed me up and started helping me.  Then she heard the song that plays at the end credits of the movie and started looking around saying, "dance!"  Then a few seconds later said, "Sorry mom.  I've got to dance!."  She put the lint trap down, and ran downstairs.  When you've got to dance, you've got to dance.

Avery had to get 4 cavities filled (this is in addition to the 2 she got filled 6 months ago!).  Matt took her this time.  Luckily they were able to get her calmed down and get them all filled without having to "tie her down".

Avery loves to pretend to talk on the phone.  Her favorite people to call are Grandma and Grandpa.  It's fun to see how her "conversations" have progressed!  She used to just say "hello".  Now she is asking questions and pausing for answers!
