One last poolside story: Avery and I were lounging around one day when a bird swooped down on the concrete and started walking towards us. “No cup!” Avery scolded the bird, referencing a plastic cup that had just fallen to the ground. She then came over to where I was lying, cupped my toes with her little hands and told the bird, “No toe! No toe!” (She went on to repeat this until the bird was out of sight.) I’m not sure where she got the idea that the bird might attack my feet, but I was touched – and amused – by her concern.
