From the Mouths of (Our) Babes

Avery was just hanging from a step on our second floor, speaking to me on the first floor.  All I could see was his head, hanging down the stairwell. I asked him not to hang there to speak to me because it was very dangerous and he could fall. He replied, "But mommy, I am trying to make a point!  It will be more important if I say it from here."

Avery said to Walker this morning, "Did you know that bumblebees are good for the earth?  Because they make honey.   Without honey, there wouldn't be any pancakes."

Avery was helping Walker fix a door on Sunday.  He noticed there was a camera above the door.   He asked Walker, "Is that for social security?"

"At my birthday party, everyone can bring their grandpa or grandmother." That's all he has planned so far. This was in response to the fact that he was disappointed to learn that today, to Max's birthday party, he was not invited to bring his grandparents.
