Playing with Cars at 6am


Our weekday morning routine doesn't vary much. Avery is the alarm clock for Carolyn and me, typically waking us up between 5 and 7 in the morning (very occasionally he sleeps later which is a huge treat for us). One or both of us gets up and we play until Sesame street is on at 7. Avery has breakfast (usually oatmeal with fruit or yogurt with fruit) while watching Sesame Street. Then we get him dressed and ready for daycare.

This morning was no exception. Avery woke up early (before 6), and after letting the dog out, I played with cars and trucks with him while waiting for the coffee to brew. Avery has always loved anything with wheels, and cars and trucks are big with the older kids at his daycare. He makes sound effects (like blowing raspberries or going "vrrrooom!") and I try to make him laugh by putting small toys on the cars so it looks like they are driving the cars. Like this morning I had a small car "drive" a bigger car. The humor of the situation was not lost on Avery.

He looks like a little boy now.

I know, Amanda, isn't it weird? All of a sudden, we don't have a baby anymore. He's a toddler!
