Snip Snip

I scheduled Avery's first hair cut.  I was looking at the typical kid-cut places and just couldn't bear to think of someone butchering her.  So I scheduled at the Salon where I typically go.  Avery will see my gal on the 6th of March for a trim.

I have been trying to use different products in her hair to get the frizz in her curls tamed down.  A bit of coconut oil works well but leaves it looking greasy.  Mousse did a nice job, so that might be my go to.  Either way I know she will benefit from a trim to even things up and get the ends that are constantly trying to knot up dealt with.  I will finally have a first lock/curl to put away.

Bestie Time

Our first long over due get away was to Splash Lagoon with Avery's bestie, Luke, and his family.  We had a good time, the hotel was nice, the place was fun for the kids and had areas perfect for them.

Cousin Time

Yesterday Avery got to spend some time with her cousins, Levi and Isabella (and Kimberly).  It's been a year since our cruise, which blows my mind.  On this visit we got to shop at Trax Farms and the nearby outlets before having a late lunch.  They adore her so much, I wish they could spend more time together.

God will take care of you

I know I say ouch too much right now.  My shoulder is really hurting me.  Last night cuddling in my bed I had some pain and indicated as such.  Avery said "don't worry Mommy, God will take care of you".  Amen little girl, Amen.

Avery and Love

After receiving a Valentine's gift from her Aunt Mandy in the mail Avery opened the items contained within.  The first she read off said "A-V-E-R-Y, that's Avery".  After opening it she put a little heart shaped ring on and read it "L-O-V-E".  I asked her what that spelled and she said "Love Mommy".  *So proud*  She then spelled "L-U-K-E" and told me that was Luke!

It is definitely tie for some sight words and learning how a few other words (Mommy, Daddy, Saffy, Dog, Cat, God, Jesus - you know, the important ones) are spelled.

Meenas and Heycorns

I am pretty sure I reported a while back that Avery corrected me when I said "meena".  Last night it was confirmed that "heycorns" are of the past now as well.  It makes me sad, she's getting so big.
