It really is coming, everything is dying and the rain and winter chill has started. Well, the rain never went anywhere, but it is starting to feel gloomier and our days are shortening. Avery turned 3 last week. We had a small party with a few of her friends. She was thoroughly spoiled and had a blast. It was a good week. She also brought cupcakes to preschool and they all sang to her there.
My inlaws were here for a short visit and Avery loves having company. She loves her grandparents and had so much fun. We get to see them again in just a week along with lots of friends as we are heading to CO for a week of fun. Sam has been busy with work and I have been busy with the house. Finishing the trim really sucks and tedious and slow work, but slowly the house is coming together. A fence should be going up in the next week to contain our mutts, this will make life with dogs much less annoying. Preschool for Avery is fun. My "job" on the board is a lot more work than I expected, but I am getting to know quite a few people and that is nice. I left Avery at school for the first time yesterday and it was awful. She pitched a giant screaming/punching/kicking fit. I got a phone call 10 minutes later that she calmed down and was playing. She was totally fine when I picked her up. I know tomorrow will most likely be the same story. She has already told me today: "I will cry when you leave me at preschool tomorrow, but one day I will be brave at preschool and I wont cry, but tomorrow I will cry when you leave me at preschool." She often speaks in run on sentences.
Avery's 3 year check up was our best to date. She actually let her doctor examine her! This is huge! She was 26 pounds even, which puts her in the 10th percentile and was 34 3/4 inches tall putting her in the 25th percentile. Finally, after 2 1/2 years of being at 0 for weight we are on the chart and the doctor is satisfied and happy with our 5 pound weight gain over the past year.
Other than that we are starting to get excited for winter and the holidays!
