Avery loves to drag her dolls and stuffed animals around and take kitchen towels and tuck them in for naps, whether morning, noon or night. She has recently added 2 new critters into this mix, Bunny and Pinky. If one gets relocated, they all do. It is quite a chore as the party grows to include Baby, Doll, Elmo, Bunny AND Pinky.

5 word sentence of truth
Last weekend Avery and Jon met our friends John and Maddie at the beach. They had lots of fun and Jon was kind enough to send me phone pix to my work email so I could see pictures while I worked. Avery has talked about Maddie and the water and John and the ocean every day since. The other morning when I woke her up for school she was talking about the beach and told me a story I had never heard. She said, "Maddie fall in the water." I said, "Oh Maddie fell in the ocean?", and she said, "yes." So I asked Jon if that was true and he said he had almost forgotten but indeed Maddie had fallen in the water and her daddy had rescued her. That was the first 5 word sentence I ever noticed and it was a story we hadn't talked about over and over. I am enjoying that she can tell us things about her days when we are away from her.

Our Weekend - 23 months
We enjoyed another visit to the Aquarium of the Pacific. Early Saturday morning Jon and I were talking about what to do that day and I said, maybe we could go to the aquarium. Avery immediately got so excited and started talking about fishies. We proceeded to go for a run at the beach, the whole time she kept asking to see the fish, very upset that we had to go back home first before leaving for the aquarium.

The Skirball and Noah's Ark
Avery recently enjoyed a visit to the Skirball museum to see the Noah's Ark exhibit. I had heard about it for years, ever since our friends started having kids. Everyone spoke so highly of this place. I have never seen such a kid friendly, pleasant, educational and enjoyable exhibit in any museum I have ever been to. Charlotte and Ella came along and all 3 girls had a great time. I highly recommend this to any LA natives or to anyone visiting LA. It is unlike anything else. Here Avery is turning the wheel to make the sound of rain.
This section of the museum was for kids 4 and older, but Daddy went ahead and took her up into the rope rafters for some climbing fun.
There is a little section for cleaning up little brown plastic pieces. Jon said they were poop but I said surely they were coal or dirt. Then one of the ladies working there asked if the kids wanted to help her clean up the poop. I guess all the animals on the ark must have pooped at one time or another.
Noah's Ark was fun!
