Averyisms

I was driving with the girls in the car and half listening to Avery and half listening to NPR. Avery says "Mom, do you hear me?" "Mmhmm," I say distractedly. "Mom, you're a liar, you didn't hear me. You're a liar mom." Well, what could I say? She was right :)

Those of you who have been reading this blog since its inception might remember that Avery doesn't like it when it's Mike's turn to read books at night. Let me say, quickly, that this is NO reflection on Mike's reading ability. It's a mystery we haven't been able to figure out. Regardless of the reason, though, Avery's new defensive strategy is to tell Mike that he can read to her "tomorrow."

Here's a sweet one: I took Avery to a primary activity on Friday. It was a family birthday night and one of the activities was to ask your child questions and see if you could guess the correct answers. To the question, "What do you want to be when you grow up" Avery's answer was "like my mom!"
