Avery relief
Thank goodness for Avery: She’s a constant source of comic relief (which is much needed these days). It’s hard to keep track of everything that comes out of her mouth, but here are a few amusing or sweet comments from the last several months.
-The girls usually help with laundry, but Avery has a particular dislike for her dad’s white t-shirts. One day she got frustrated when I said she needed to learn how to fold them correctly, and she cried out, “Why?! I don’t want to. I’ll just make my husband do it.â€
-She was reading over my shoulder one day and noticed my email signature. “Ooh, you’re a director?” she asked me. “That’s high up! Good job, Mommy!” Another time I was telling the girls about how much I like speaking in public, and how I’m pretty good at it. “Ooh, you’re so confident, Mommy,” she told me. “I like it!”
-One night we were having an emotional conversation when she stopped, tilted her head and asked in a serious voice, “Do you like having bangs?” (So that’s what she was thinking when I was talking!)
-She burps aloud a lot (ugh!) and I recently scolded her. “You’re not a scientist so you don’t know – but there are acids that need to come out,” she said, before elaborating on why she had to burp. “I don’t think I should get in trouble for science.”
-One day I was worrying out loud about Maddie’s foot, which had a bump on it. After Q told me not o worry, Avery piped in:Â “She’s a mama bear. She can’t help it.”
