Today when I was getting ready to exercise, I put on socks and shoes. Avery watched and said, "momma, where are my socks and shoes? I need them to exercise." We could go no further until they were on and secure. As I tied hers, she said, "momma, make sure yours are tied too."

Mid-jump, Avery tossed a, "next time we go to the store, we can get one, okay?" over her shoulder.

Since it looked like a really good workout, I tried to do it without a stepper. Turns out the leader started doing stuff that you can't do without one, so I stopped. Avery said, "momma, keep going."

I said, "we can't do this one."

Surprisingly enough, even though that picture also includes an array of circles, they do look different.
