Avery has, as mentioned earlier, been a bit difficult lately: Aside from throwing more frequent tantrums and not going to bed as easily as she used to, she has entered a Daddy phase and often runs away from me if I try to dress or undress her, get her into the bath, or put her to bed. (Sigh.) But luckily all that is balanced out by the good, super-cute stuff, like when she runs around the house announcing she has just done a mitzvah or is a “responsible girl.” Or when she calls her feet “feets.” Or when she puts her little face in the window to peer out at me when (like yesterday) I’m volunteering at her school and just outside of her classroom. Or when at bedtime she sings along with me to my made-up “Button Nose Song” (lyrics below for posterity).

I often tell Avery – only half-jokingly – that she’s lucky that she’s cute. But I actually think we’re the lucky ones!

Well, you’ve got a round face and a cute button nose
Two big eyes and ten little toes
You’ve got a big sister named Z-O-E
You’re Baby Avery… You’re Baby Avery!
