My playset!

Avery's swing set is on the scene!  It was beautiful warm weather for the install and most of the afternoon.  Around 4pm the thunder, lightning, and rain started.  I was pretty disappointed, but still allowed her to spot it when we got home.  She came upstairs and I said "let's go look on the deck" she looked out the sliding glass door and immediately said "my playset!" and scooted to the door and out to the edge of the deck.  She was excited.  The rain paused, so we went outside for all of 5 minutes to check out the tire swing (which was still dry).  When she heard thunder we were back inside.

A while later we were able to go back out for a good hour and she had so much fun testing out her slides, climbing entries to the tower, and rings that she neglected to point out a potty need midway through.  So we lost a few minutes to changing our undies and pants.

Parade Practice

While it only lasted all of 10-15 minutes, we enjoyed the Memorial Day parade here in town.  It was a nice test run for the 4th of July (which is the second largest in the state).  It's good to know Avery is down to sit and watch a parade.

Counting Down

The swing set delivery is set for June 7 -- at last!  She has been mentioning it on the regular.  I can't wait to see her face when it is finally here.

Sprinkler Playdate

Avery got to go to her best buddy's place yesterday.  The pictures of them holding hands and running back and forth in the spray from the sprinkler are beyond cute.

I love too that I got to hear her defending herself in the way I have tried to tell her when we talk about things.  She proclaimed "that's not nice" among other things.  She's also a little bossy, but that surprises no one.

PK1 - I'm pretty important

It is once again time for Avery to move up in classes.  The paper came home today indicating she was moving to PK1 on June 14!  That's 2 months before she turns 4.  I am sure they have more younger kids coming in or moving up in classes hence the early shift, but it's still a big deal to me.

I admit, I sneaked a peek - her buddy is also moving up on the same day to the same PK1 teacher.  Look out PK1!

Higher Level Math

While helping me plant some things outside today Avery counted 5 scoops of dirt into a pot.  I told her to put 3 more in, which she counted as 6, 7, and 8!  Then I said it needed 2 more and she said 10.

Ok.  Dang.  I'm impressed kid.

Reset the counter

Later this month would have been one full year without a period. Instead, today I started spotting.  Very funny mother nature, well played.  I feel like I need to flip the sign at a work site saying how many days since there was an injury.
