In one week my sweet Avery is going to be 3! I can hardly believe it! I haven't posted much about her lately so I thought I would let you know what is going on with her.
A few of her favorite sayings are:
"That was pretty interesting"
"This is not too exciting this morning"
"That is disgusting"
*She says any of the above about random things. And she says "this morning" referring to any time of day. She has such enthusiasm and expressions with each saying and I can't help but laugh at her!
Today we were eating some ice cream after a trip to the park and the news was on. She says "Look Mommy it's Barak Obama". I was surprised that she could even say his name and that she recognized him. We did watch the news all day on Tuesday so she must have been paying attention!
I had a parent - teacher conference with her preschool teacher on Friday. (Avery is in preschool 2 days a week for 3 hours) It was interesting to hear what the teacher said of her. It's not very often that you get someone elses honest interpretation of your child. Here are a few of the points she mentioned.
1. She usually has a baby in her arms where ever she is playing.
2. She has a very large imagination when she plays.
3. She always includes others in her play.
4. She is a natural leader but can also follow others in imaginative play.
5. Sometimes she needs reminding about her "inside" voice. - She must get that from her daddy!
6. She enjoys books, songs and finger plays.
7. She has very good verbal communication skills and understands well.
8. She is a very articulate child. She is sensitive to others feelings and is very sweet and loving to her friends.
She is super excited about her Minnie Mouse birthday party and asks me every day. "Mommy, is today my birthday?" Stay tuned this week because I'm sure I'll be posting more pics of her while I reminisce over the past 3 years...wow has the time flown!

wow- I can't believe it either. Its so amazing how fast they grow isn't it? I can't wait to see pics from the party... I know it will be beautiful!! :)
Amber - It was great seeing you Friday. Oh, I remember Avery when she was REAL tiny! Now it's birthday 3, wow! Riley is so precious too.
We are super excited for Avery's Minnie party! Can't believe she will be 3! They are all growing up so fast! Can't wait to party with her next weekend!
Claire recognizes Barack Obama on TV as well. She shocked Jason and me the other day when she noticed him. Jason is NOT thrilled about her enthusiasm for Barack. I wonder if they learned about him at school?
Claire is also really looking forward to Avery's party. She loves the invitation you sent and is excited to pick out her gift next week!
It seems like only yesterday when she was in the newborn room at church. She didn't like being away from her mom too much back then ;-)
Also, thanks for your sweet message on my blog. I appreciate the prayers very much. I hope I go early like you did!
