Accidentally

Avery was laughing a few minutes ago. I asked him what was so funny, and he explained, "I almost accidentally called you, 'Your Majesty,' instead of 'Mommy'"

Where Did He Pick This One UP?

Last night at bedtime, Avery stood at the top of the steps on the third floor and would not let Walker pass. He said, "I am a door, daddy, and you can't get through unless you open me!" Walker asked what he needed to open the door. Avery replied, very quickly, "A credit card."

What One Finds in the Preshool Trash

I wanted to take the robot, pictured here, home for Avery. I actually got a, "Awww, maaaaaooooommm!" I think we might have reached the trash picking tipping point.

Event at the Library

I just loved the way Avery sat down so comfortably with all the slightly older kids at the library last evening for the Alice in Wonderland event. It wasn't really an Alice in Wonderland Event. More like odd drama kids from Temple in Wonderland...But Avery and the other kids did really seem to enjoy it.

LANGUAGE OF SLEEP

Avery couldn't sleep this weekend, and woke up like an infant on Saturday night---11pm, 1:30pm, and finally, 3am. He came down to our bed, and tried to squeeze in the middle, between us. He put his head on the pillow, and sat up abruptly. He turned to me, very seriously, and proclaimed, "I can't get any sleep! The pillow doesn't fit here properly!"

Avery's Got Strep

So there is something to a mama's instinct. Glad we kept him home yesterday and today. Poor little guy. But he's on antibiotics, and feeling a TON better tonight. He's presently eating popcorn and watching Muppets Take Manhattan with us.
