Thank goodness for Avery: She’s a constant source of comic relief (which is much needed these days). It’s hard to keep track of everything that comes out of her mouth, but here are a few amusing or sweet comments from the last several months.<\/p>\n
-The girls usually help with laundry, but Avery has a particular dislike for her dad’s white t-shirts. One day she got frustrated when I said she needed to learn how to fold them correctly, and she cried out, “Why?! I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want to. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll just make my husband do it.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
-She was reading over my shoulder one day and noticed my email signature. “Ooh, you’re a director?” she asked me. “That’s high up! Good job, Mommy!” Another time I was telling the girls about how much I like speaking in public, and how I’m pretty good at it. “Ooh, you’re so confident, Mommy,” she told me. “I like it!”<\/p>\n
-One night we were having an emotional conversation when she stopped, tilted her head and asked in a serious voice, “Do you like having bangs?” (So that’s<\/em> what she was thinking when I was talking!)<\/p>\n -She burps aloud a lot (ugh!) and I recently scolded her. “You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re not a scientist so you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know – but there are acids that need to come out,” she said, before elaborating on why she had to burp. “I\u00c2\u00a0don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t think I should get in trouble for science.”<\/p>\n -One day I was worrying out loud about Maddie’s foot, which had a bump on it. After Q told me not o worry, Avery piped in:\u00c2\u00a0“She’s a mama bear. She can’t help it.”<\/p>\n -M<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Thank goodness for Avery: She’s a constant source of comic relief (which is much needed these days).
