UPDATE!!!! Potty training and tricycles!

We are horrible parents. It's only been almost 3 months since I last updated Avery's blog.

Let's see if I can remember everything.

Avery went to summer camp at her school (they follow the school schedule) 3 days a week and she LOVED it. She got to splash in the kiddie pool almost everyday. She kissed a boy. Seriously. She held his face and KISSED him. Daddy wasn't happy. She talks so much now so we are trying really hard not to say bad words. She really can say anything. Oh you should hear her say umbrella. It is something like brellumma. hehe. We have talked about the potty and panties all summer and finally, last Sunday, she asked for panties. So, she picked out the prettiest Elmo panties we had and off she went. There were a couple accidents, but I am seriously amazed at how quickly she caught on. I don't even have to ask her, she tells me she has to go. This has been my biggest dread as a parent for at least a year and it went so easily (for #1 at least).

Avery still sings all day. If she's in a "mood," she will say "NO sing Mommy" when I sing. She used to like my voice! haha! She still wants me to sing HushABye when she's tired, hurt, or scared. She is now scared easily. She talks about being scared of the dark so now she gets to sleep with her nightlight turtle that makes stars on the ceiling (thanks Uncle Scott!!!). The turtle has been a life saver.

And, now she has finally figured out how to make herself go on the tricycle! YAY! My back thanks her!

Speaking of tricycle....
