Back seat driver...

Avery is always giving me advice on how to drive.

For example:

"Mom, be careful." (As a car was going by.)

"Mom go slower." (When I was in a hurry and driving a little...ok a lot faster than I should have been.)

"Mom be careful of that car." (When I was parking at Madi's school.)

"Watch out Mom!" (When a car pulls up by us.)

"Don't crash Mom!" ( Whenever she feels scared.)

I don't know where she got this worry from....?

Oh, yeah. Me.

Have a good day!

As we are waiting for Madi's school bus to get here, I watch as Avery goes over to Madi and softly strokes Madi's cheek and says, "You have a good day, ok?"

So cute!

Exposed

Last night Avery came into the bathroom as I was using it. I was in the middle of putting on a pad for the night because my monthly "friend" came and Avery yelled out, "Mommy wears a diaper! Hahaha!"

Thanks Avery.

Grandpa is a good friend

Last week Avery was in the hallway looking at family pictures and laughing with her "fake" laugh.

Me: What's so funny?

Avery: Madi is sitting by Grandpa.

Me:Oh! What are they doing?

Avery: Grandpa is funny.

Me: Yeah, he is huh?

Avery: Grandpa is my friend. (pause) I love him.

Me: AWWWW! That is so nice Avery!

Poo and Pee

This morning I went in to help Avery go potty, even thought she wanted to do it herself. As she was sitting there, she shouted, I DID A POO-POO!

Me: You did?

Avery: Yeah.

Me: Let me see?

She stands up.

Me: No you didn't, silly!

Avery: Yeah. I did a poo-poo again, and again,and again, and again, and again!

Me: Oh really??

Avery: No.... I just did a pee-pee.
