yesterday was my parent's 45th wedding anniversary! we helped them celebrate with a dinner out. the girls did amazing (nola hadn't napped all afternoon) and it was a really lovely night out. (nola could not get enough of gramps! even when he wasn't paying attention to her, she was staring at him just waiting to give him a big smile.) while we were trying to figure out the plan earlier in the day, i called my parents and had avery say "happy anniversary" when they answered the phone. it was pretty jumbled, but she did a pretty good job trying.
avery was helping grandma kathy finish writing her card. on the envelope she was doodling and telling us what she was drawing. the usuals: elephant, kitty, turtle...then she told grandma she was making a "w" (bubbo-boo!) and sure enough, she was making a zig-zag W. thinking it was a fluke, zane asked her to draw another one. she did the same thing. and then AGAIN at dinner! my mom has the envelope, but i want to get a picture of it :) maybe she'll be a writer someday and we have the important piece documenting her early start.
(just yesterday she also stopped calling dogs "oof-off''s" and instead said "goggy's"!)
avery and grandma after dinner, watching a little sesame street on the computer.
tonight we were sitting at dinner and zane had run upstairs to get nola. avery was saying something over and over and i wasn't paying attention. finally i looked at her and listened. she was eating the yolk of a hard boiled egg saying "i tried it! i liked it!" she must be paying attention to the yo gabba gabba episode where they sign "i tried it, and now i like it!" she was so darn proud of herself when i acknowleged what she was saying--and then got the video camera out and caught it on film. i'll upload it tomorrow :)
