Story Telling...



Avery pantomimed a whole, full, request tonight.

We were reading his favorite book, "My First Word Book". The book has pages full of photographs, with corresponding words for things like "pets" and "things that move". Avery LOVES this book, and will sit for long periods of time just pointing out pictures, and I provide the word.

Tonight, we got to the page on "food", and he pointed out the spaghetti. He looked at me and made a slurping sound. Then, he started nodding his head ferociously. He slurped again. He nodded. Slurped. Nodded nodded nodded. This went on. Then, he started making a sort of "hhhhhmmmmmm" pleading sound and pointing at the door. He was clearly trying to tell me something. I tried to decipher and said, "Avery, you can't have spaghetti, it's bedtime." He slurped, and nodded and said, "Yes." (slurp) "Car-a." (nod) "Daddy."

I really think he was trying to tell me he wanted to get in the car(a) with daddy and go get himself some spaghetti with meatballs.

Galloping and Pumpkin Rides

Updates: 1. Avery has learned how to gallop. He calls it skipping, and he has been doing it all around the living room, street, park, store... since yesterday afternoon. Everywhere. 2. Avery asked Walker, "What alphabet does your name begin with?" 3. I asked Avery what we are going to do tomorrow, and he said, "We are going to get some hay and ride on a pumpkin!" He's very excited, although he seems to have it switched around a bit.

A New Food Every Three Days...

If you were to try a new food every three days for about a year, don't you think you'd get to the point where you had to be really creative to find something new? With combinations of ingredients, knowing that you have tried one dish, you would think that you'd exhaust the possibilities. Well, we've been new foods like this for some time now, and every time I go to the grocery or Farmer's Market, I come back with something new for Avery. Ritz crackers were introduced today! Chive cream cheese was on the menu a few days ago. This evening, we combined the two for Ritz cracker and chive cream cheese fiesta. Avery hogged down seven crackers piled high with cream cheese, had a huge piece of extra sharp cheddar, and some berry applesauce. This was all washed down with a huge bottle of organic whole milk, which friend Jeanna says, "tastes like fresh cut grass and ice cream." I am going to try to make a list of Avery's favorite foods : Veggies -sw...
