Avery 3 Years Old

Avery is 32lbs and 37 1/2 inches of lovable, huggable craziness. Since she turned 3, she started a new class at gymnastics that she does by herself. She loves bynmastics (as she calls it.) She also started preschool which she also loves. On the first day of school, she was so ready to get there she barely stood still for a picture (as you can see in the last picture). She's a big helper already and helps with folding laundry and washing/drying dishes. She loves Aidan and loves playing with him. In the last month or so, she has become a little bit of a drama queen. Someone told me once that she's not a little kid, she's a little adult. She talks pretty much non-stop. She wakes up talking. I think she even has complete conversations just with herself. If she's quiet, I'm checking on her to see what she's gotten into. Avery is a curious child and is always wanting to know what everyone else is doing. She's the person who's watching everyone else but isn't watching where she's going. She's asks so many questions. She picks up on words that we say and then asks about them or tries to use them in a sentence without really knowing what they mean. They other day she told me the water goes into the drain holes in the street and then the tunnels under the ground take the water to college? Bear is her imaginary friend. Bear does lots of things like coloring on the floor, goes to college(?). Bear goes to school too but it's a different school than Avery (per Avery). Actually since Avery started school, I haven't heard much about Bear. I guess you could call her a spirited child - she cracks us up, drives us crazy and makes us want to hug her all at the same time.
