Christmas 2021 and another gem...

First... the gem:

M:  Take those clothes off, you need to get a shower. 

A:  I'm not dirty. God says I'm not dirty. 

M: ...

A;  Daddy washed my bootie and my face the other day. 

M:  Get undressed.

---------------------

Christmas this year was pretty simple.  There was still more spent than I should have overall, but Avery didn't really get anything 'big'.  She did get a new scooter, that's the biggest thing.  There are legos and hot wheels goodies, cat noir and ladybuy toys, books, and other goodies.  I think someone in the family doesn't like us... as they gifted Avery a betta fish.  Today we ran out and gathered the supplies we need for her to the tune of $62.

I may need to cave and get rid of a few of the bigger things here at the house, but they're things that she might/could use at some point (like her art stand or little kitchen).

She slept in until after 8am and apprehensively came down the stairs.  I do wish I could read her mind, I know something is on it.

A few gems from this past week

This kid.

I'm tired. Because I'm tired, I can go in your bed. That's what my brain says.

In the car while we were talking with Aunt Jackie Avery asked if we could go to the liquor store.  (She knows they will give her a lolli.)
She repeated this request in TJ Maxx, much to the humor of the lady near us among the sweaters.
