"Can we fix it?" "Yes we can!"

3 updates in one day, what is going on?!?! Someone must be procrastinating . . . ahem.

I wanted to write down some VERY adorable anecdotes and post these pictures of Avery wearing Bob the Builder slippers. In the second picture he appears to be dancing, but he might have been slipping backwards.



Anecdote number one: Avery is not always in the mood to give hugs and kisses upon request. But he has been extremely snuggly this weekend, and twice he has given Carolyn "un beso" when asked, and then he has turned to give me a kiss without being asked. Then he kissed Carolyn and then me over and over again, taking turns between the two of us. I LOVE getting Avery kisses, and he thought it was funny to be giving so many kisses over and over.

Anecdote number two: Avery used to fuss and cry when we put him in his crib at bedtime. He hasn't done that for weeks. Now, in fact, when he is ready for bed, he points at his crib or even pulls on the bars of the crib until we put him down in it. When we put him in his crib after he "asks" us to do so, he smiles and laughs because he is so happy to be in his crib! So now he lets us know when he is ready for bed without us even asking!

Anecdote number three: Any time we make a suggestion like "should you take a bath tonight?" or "maybe we should walk the dog soon," Avery runs to the proper location. Like he'll run to the bathtub as soon as he hears the word "bath." And if we suggest doing laundry or taking a walk or walking the dog, he'll run to the front door and try to open it. Even if he is wearing nothing but a diaper and the dog is nowhere to be found.
