Avery finally decided she wanted to try on her Halloween costume and then insisted Dad take about 100 photos of her. Since this day she has worn it a couple times and even out when we went to a friends house to watch the football game. She is at the stage where she wants to pick out her clothes, dress herself, bath herself......
She even decides when she needs a timeout. The other day she was getting grumpy and started throwing her food (yes the she has moments of terrible two's which I joke and say it is the start of the terrible 16 year), anyways, she after she stopped she came up to me and said "Avery needs a timeout. I go to room and knock on door when better". I said "okay, sweet". She did this again yesterday when she was being bossy (yes bossy, not sure where she would ever get this from, must be her dad). She said "I come out when not so rude". She then goes to her room and comes out a little later and says "Avery so happy". And she is. It is amazing she comes out as a totally different happy girl. I bet all parents are so jelous!
She also decided it was time she wear panties. We will see how this goes. She insisted that she not wear a diaper so maybe that is a good sign. I cannot believe that she is going to be two in 10 days. If you ask her what she wants for her birthday she will tell you "bear toothpaste". Her toothpaste container has a bear on it and she brushes her teeth about 4 times a day.
Its hard to believe our little girl is already two! Growing up too quickly. We had her party a few days and boy was it a good one. 35 adults and 10 kids under 3 years of age. We need a bigger house!
