Avery is just a few weeks shy of being 5 years old. So hard to believe. This last year has been really fun to watch her learn things academically (counting to 100, memorizing how to write words, etc) but also watching her develop friendships and seeing the dynamics of her relationships.

Avery loves school, especially making arts/crafts. Her teachers laugh that she is "oh so girly" yet doesn't hesitate to dive into paint, shaving cream, or anything messy. She has a little boyfriend named Garrison who hollers "Bye my girlfriend Avery" every day as we leave school. Hysterical!

Our little priss loves princess dolls and polly pockets. She has quite the imagination and rearranges her stuff while creating elaborate games by herself. She has her afternoon "rest time" in my room (since griffin naps in theirs) and I never know what kind of mess I might walk into when she's done! Other than her doll stuff, there aren't too many toys that hold her attention. Most of her time is spent at the kitchen table doing artwork. We go through markers, paper, and stickers like there is no tomorrow.

Avery is super excited about going to kindergarten next year but doesn't really know what "kindergarten" is - she asked me if I know how to get to kindergarten?! I must admit that I am thankful that she is only going 1/2 day next year so that I have a little more time with her!
