Won't you be my neighbor

Avery has officially made friends with the neighbor girls. It started through the fence on Saturday morning.  There is nothing cuter than this kid standing there calling for them by name.  Her sweet little voice!  The neighbor girls are sweet and seem to have a bit more structure from their parents than some of the other kids in the neighborhood, so I am hoping they can be buds for years go to come, despite the age difference (they are 6 and 9).

We had a couple of poops on the potty today and a few pees.  I know I need to get crazy about the frequency to bring things home.  If we could keep some warm temps for more than a day at a time maybe we could go outside in big girl panties and see how she reacts when things happen.

Both days this weekend we skipped naptime.  I didn't even try to put her down, and she made it through with minimal hissy-fit.  I am so not ready for her to give up naps, especially right now as I need nap time to get work hours in, but she is also getting better about entertaining herself and playing solo for little spurts of time.

All dressed up and nowhere to go

We did put Avery's Easter dress on today, even though we had no where to go.  She found her eggs that led her to her Easter basket and had fun playing with her new toys.  She got her big Easter gift last weekend, a climbing dome out back.  Good thing to have to help keep her busy and worn out.  Then we had our dinner here at home, some bake and serve cookies that Avery helped me put on the cookie tray to bake, some time outside with a walk.

I guess we'll never know how she would have done with the Easter bunny this year.  There's something sad about that.  We video chatted with Aunt Jackie and our buddy Mr. B today but that's still not the same as being out and about.  I don't know when life will get to go back to normal.  When the time comes I wonder how Avery will adjust back to school and other activities.
