She's Brilliant

Avery has been playing school a lot lately since she got to go to school with Daddy last week for a field trip. We have always worked on some pre-K workbooks here and there, but lately it's all she wants to do!

Yesterday this was her newest accomplishment! I was so proud of her! She did it all by herself.
My favorite is her 'E.'

I Make Momma Laugh...

This morning when Avery woke up, I knocked on her door before going in to get her. From the other side I heard, "come in!" She's never said that before, and hearing it come out of her little mouth in her sweet voice made me smile.

When I walked in, she saw me, laughed, and said, "I just said come in..."

She's really growing up and discovering her language!

As I changed her diaper and got her ready for the day, she continued to amaze me and make me laugh, so I said, "You make Momma laugh!" She promptly answered, "ha, ha! I make momma laugh!"

These small incidents probably don't bring as much joy to others, but they sure do to me.

One! Ah Ah Ah!

Our Avery has learned something new...Again. And I'm sure it's due to watching Sesame Street, working with Momma, Daddy and her pal Chris, who reads to her whenever she wants.

Drumroll please...

Avery can count! Yes, with numbers. She's not that great when you ask her to show off, but when she's in her own little world, we'll catch her counting. During her bath yesterday, I was singing the counting song from Sesame Street. I got to three, and she took over from there. Then she got stuck saying "ate, nin, ten" over and over and over.

Today Kenny and I went to lunch with Avery at a Chinese restaraunt. There were fish everywhere (along with Santa Clause, wreaths, and garland, but that's another story). I asked her to count the fish. She said, "one, tee, foe, fife, sicks, ate, nin, ten!" Yes, she skipped two and seven. I asked her again. This time she skipped four and seven. Lucky number seven; or is it unlucky?

Anyway, I'm proud of my 19 month old child who can count. Or maybe it's just memorize. Either way, she's still learning!
