Roaring Practice

Avery's friend Charlie is turning four next weekend. First of all, this is big for us. This is the first party in which the invitation said that it's a 'drop off' party. Parents can stay for pizza, if they want to, but they don't have to. So "four" is the year of independent bday parties (so far).

The other lovely and adorable detail about this party is that kids were asked to come in costume.? Isn't that the best? Avery already loves wearing costumes around all the time, so this is another excuse to go out in one.

In preparation, Avery's trying out his options (much like his mama does sometimes, hmmmmm?)... How CUTE is this costume? We have to work on getting the little hat/head part to fit him a bit better. I love the Jr. League Thrift Shop(pe) for random little off season finds like this...



Here is also a rejected costume choice, underwear on the head, a la Eric as the "lamb", in our rendition of "Mary Had a Little Lamb," circa 1977 (not that that is not cute, too.)

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...
