Oh sweet little girl, you make my heart soar. I cannot tell you how much I love having you
for a daughter. You are everything and
more than I could have ever hoped for. God
knew just what he was doing when he wove your precious little personality.
You are growing up so fast and although part of me is sad,
there is a much bigger part that loves the independent little girl you are
becoming. We’ve had a lot of firsts in
the past month and I wanted you to know how much I’ve enjoyed them.
First, potty training.
The ONLY reason you are not fully potty-trained is that we haven’t been
consistent with it. From the first day
we started trying, you have done awesome!
When I brought home your new princess panties you were so excited to put
them on and after getting one pair wet, you stayed dry the rest of the
day! Unfortunately the last month has
been a crazy mess as far as consistency is concerned. You stopped going to daycare almost one month
ago and since then you’ve had four different babysitters. Obviously potty-training took a back seat
during the week but on the weekends when we’re home with you, you’re still
doing great! Now if we could get you to
do “dirty business” in the potty instead of your underwear L You started a new daycare yesterday and your
teacher asked me if you are potty trained because you were dry almost all day
and went on the potty 4 times! Now that
you will be back on a consistent routine I’m hoping we will soon be able to say
that you are fully potty-trained!
Second, toddler bed.
Daddy was home with you and Asher yesterday afternoon and decided it was
time to convert your crib into a toddler bed.
Thanks for asking me, daddy J. Anyway, you love it and thought it was so fun
to be able to crawl into bed all by yourself!
When I got home from work, you told me “mommy, go night
night!”. You put a blanket on me, patted
my back and sang me “Jesus”. You then told me shhh, shhh, walked out of
the room and closed the door. I laid there for a few minutes thinking you’d
immediately come back in.
After about two minutes the door sprung open and you proudly
announced “mommy, Avery tee-tee!!” Sure enough, while I was lying in your
bed you had gone potty all by yourself! There was about ¼ roll of TP in
the little potty and what was left on the roll looked like a cat had clawed it.
I almost died laughing. We celebrated big time.
Chatty Chatty! Your vocabulary is exploding and almost every
day you say a new word that I didn’t even know you understood! You still always
refer to yourself as Avery instead of “me” or “I”. I think it’s adorable.
You love to boss Cash around. You get so mad when he doesn’t listen to you,
it’s quite humorous. Last night you were
chasing him around the backyard with his soap telling him, “Cash, meer (come
here) bath!)” He loved this little game
of chase. You also tell him to “get out”
and “stop barking”.
You are such a good big sister! You always want Asher to wake up from his nap
so he can play with you. You love
helping with him and he loves watching you.
I am so thankful to be your mommy. I love you to pieces little girl!
