Things to Remember

Jake and Avery had run to do a little Christmas shopping and I was playing with Rylee in Avery's room. I had asked Avery to clean out under her bed the day before, so I was checking to see if it had been done. To no surprise it hadn't. I decided to clean it out. No wonder she had told me no...I found about 10 pages total of her Tag Beauty and the Beast and Toy Story 3 books had been torn out. These books are not cheap and it infuriates me when she tears pages. Anyway, I proceed to tape them all back together. After they got home, we were rushing to a birthday party and she had fallen asleep. On our way home I asked her what had happened. She told me that she had torn out all the pages that she didn't like. All the scary pages!! I couldn't help but laugh!! Jake and I were trying to hold it together but it was a challenge. Why not tear out the pages you don't like?! You would like the book so much more if it weren't scary!! How can you be mad at that? 12/17/11

I am so behind on blogging, but I need to write things down so I don't forget.

Last night, Avery and I were racing Jake into Avery's room. She is big into racing these days. Jake asked her who she wanted to say prayers and her reply "you dad,...it's a race". Well, I didn't really understand what she meant by "it's a race" for a prayer, but as soon as Jake started praying...she quickly started! I died! I was laughing so hard! She wanted to race to say prayers!! So funny! 12/14/11

I'm recording a prayer, whether that's a good idea or not.... Avery's prayer "Heavnly Fadder, thank you for this day, thank you for mommy, and for daddy, thank you for Riley. Thank you for church. Thank you for our home. Jesus Christ Amen". **All by herself. Makes a mom proud.

We took my cute neighbor some dinner the other night. She has a little 2 year old little boy, who is so cute. After we left, Avery says as a matter of fact "that boy was darling"!! 12/8/11

I was having a conversation with Avery in the tub. She had a yucky nose and I absolutely hate it when my girls have boogs, so I'm constantly at their noses. Anyway, Avery was telling me something and I told her to keep talking, her response "I can't mom, you're picking my nose!" :)

Rylee took her first step on Dec 6. 8 months old is just not old enough to be walking! That little stinker!

I really wish I could remember everything that Avery says, because most of the time it's hysterical. The other day she hadn't had a nap and was laying on the couch ready to fall asleep. Dinner was ready and I told her "why don't you go eat dinner and then you can go to bed?" She replies "how bout I take a little nap first, then eat dinner and go to bed."  Such my little rationalizer at 3! 12/8/11
