Avery - Almost 4

Avery will be 4 years old in a month and a half.  She wanted to go to kindergarten with Tate last week, but I reminded her she has to be at least 5 years old to attend.  She quickly told me that she just turned 5!  

Here she is in my wedding dress.  She's a beautiful girl with a lot of spunk.  She has a LOT of energy and loves to play, play, and play some more.  When Eric tries to teach her the alphabet, she jumps around singing random letters in an opera voice.  She loves all things pink, purple, ruffly, sparkly, and related to Barbie's or ballerinas.  She daily asks to put nail polish on and when at Grandma's, she usually puts on make-up.  She also enjoys a good argument and likes to stir things up with her brother.  She'll start preschool in a couple weeks.  Avery is a born comedian with great timing.  If you say something like, "Avery, you are silly."  She quickly responds with the "No, YOU are silly!".  She loves to dance, especially the "bummy dance", which is just sticking out the rear and wiggling it with a smile on her face.  She has also been know to make "poopy" jokes.  The humor is all in her delivery =)

I wanted an annual picture of each child, and encouraged her to put on a regular outfit for the occasion, but she insisted on her purple dress-up dress at grandma's house.  So, here she is!  We love her lots.
