mystery

Can someone explain to me why I can't wake Avery up on the days I have to be on time for work? But, on the days we were are just home together, she wakes up bright and early at 7:30? Hmmmm.....

No more diapers!

Avery is officially potty trained! She just decided one day that she wanted to do it, and it has been pretty easy since then. She even tells me everytime she has to go...I don't have to put her on the potty every 30 minutes. (thank God) :) She is such a big girl.....it is so funny to watch her run around with just her big girl panties on. Where did my baby go?

That girl cracks me up...

A couple funny things that Avery has said lately that are too good to forget. The other day, after driving in the car, I pull in the driveway, and she says "Good driving, mom!" Just out of nowhere.....a little encouragement for me, I guess.

The other night in the bathtub, she was playing with some toys and I asked her the names of them. As matter-of-factly as possible, she says "Kevin, Rex, Sonny, and Jose." So funny.

Sneaky girls

Our friends, Randy and Tricia, and their two kids, Ty and Megan, came out to see our new house on Saturday. Avery and Megan thought it was a blast to run from closet to closet and hide inside. We were downstairs talking when we heard the girls get awfully quiet upstairs. We headed up to find the master bedroom and bathroom doors shut. I opened the door and saw Avery in the bathtub with all of her clothes on. Megan was splashing her hair while Avery kept saying, "Do it again, Meg, do it again!" All Tricia and I could do was roll on the floor laughing. I looked down and noticed that Avery had taken her socks off so they wouldn't get wet. Good thinking, Ave! The funniest part was afterwards when Megan went and sat down on the steps and said, "This was all my fault. I should have been following the rules." Oh, the conscience of a four year old. :)

Funny Words

I thought I should write down some of the funny words that Avery mixes up before I forget them. :) Enjoy!

glubs=gloves
B.W.= D.W.(Arthur's sister)
Fifford= Clifford the big red dog
shibering=shivering
coff-off=washcloth
I want to hold you=hold me
oh-man-uh=Womanizer(yes, my daughter's favorite song...I know, inappropriate)

I will add more as I think of them...

Potty Training Joys

So...I am not really trying to potty train Avery....#1, I am not really ready to do it, and #2, we're moving shortly into our new house, and I don't want to potty train during a transition time. :) But, she's showing interest, so I thought we could try it out and see how far it goes. Well, tonight she sat on the potty (normally she doesn't do anything) and I heard a loud plop sound. (Sorry if this is too much info, but I am really excited!) I looked in, and sure enough, she had gone! I think it's so funny that my life has come to getting excited about bodily functions. :) Something I never thought possible a few years ago.

Funny awakening

This is what I hear in the monitor this morning....."Mom...open the door, mom. Open the door, mom. Mom.....I need to tell you a secret, mom. Open the door, mom. I need to tell you a secret, mom." So, when I went into her room to get her up, I asked her what the secret was. She said, "I want to tell a secret to daddy." Figures, huh? Is he the one up with her at 7:30.....I don't think so! Funny way to start the day....
