And now comes the embarassing part...


Avery has really begun to tell stories and describe the world. He told me this evening, for example, that he met "tiny Lucy", the baby guinea pig, at the "mooseum" today. He used hand gestures to show how tiny she was. She's a baby, just born, and he wasn't allowed to touch her, but did say he knew she was soft.

Along with the story telling, Avery narrates the world. So this has become a *bit* embarassing. For example, tonight at grocery store, Avery told Walker, "Guy following you! GUYYYY FOLLOWING YOUUUUUU!" He said it so many times, and because the guy was close behind it did seem like he was following them. Walker had to apologize to the guy, who was very understanding.

Avery's narration is generally amusing (sometimes even poetic), and only embarassing when what he is saying is not necessarily flattering (and he's saying it loudly). A few days ago, for example, while eating at a "cafe" (Avery's request) a man, small in stature, passed by our table. Avery yelled, top of his lungs, "TINY GUY WALKING BY! Mommy, see? Daddy, see? See TINY GUY? See him? TINY!"

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...

Image
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...
