Avery Update!!!

I couldn't get any GREAT pics of Avery's pink eye...he doesn't pose for the camera like Lily does!!! It is starting to look much much better. Thank goodness...I'm ready for clear eyes again!!!

Avery's Pink Eye
I love this little guy!!! He LOVES Pop Tarts, as you can tell!!!

I love these looks...I actually get them quite often from him!!!

Avery absolutely cracks me up. He is talking up a storm now. If he can't say something or hears something new, he will keep trying until he gets close enough to the word. He is still in love with "Cars" and Thomas the Tank Engine. I think that he is starting to like Thomas more than Lightning McQueen, which is saying something. We have been doing Lily's birthday stuff lately and every time we go down the party supply aisle, or when we were looking at the cake book, he says "Thomas Birthday, Thomas Birthday", so I guess we all know what kind of birthday party he will get in September (if he still LOVES Thomas at that point)!!! He LOVES to play "Ghost", which means, he will put a blanket over he head and walk around making ghost noises!! He really gets a kick out of himself!! He also loves to play hide and seek (he can't stay hidden for long, and he always gives himself away!!), and tickle party (which is where we all tickle each other, in case you couldn't figure that one out)!! It is so funny and sweet when he comes up to me, seemingly out of the blue, and says, "Play tickle party" or one of his other favorite games. He also LOVES to pretend to be different animals. I think he favorites are frogs, and sharks. He likes to hop to around like a frog, and he loves to pretend to bite like a shark. He really is SOO stinkin funny!!!

We are not doing too well on the potty training front. I have to say that I think it is from lack of enthusiasm on my part. If I really work with him, I don't think it will take TOO long, but I just haven't really felt like doing it this winter. I have vowed to really start trying, though, cause diapers are so stinkin expensive, especially when he could be trained if I had been working harder on it. I did get him a new potty seat thing to go over the big potty seat on the big toilet, and it's "Cars", and he has gone a few times on it (I just got it on Friday). I think he really likes going on the big potty...he feels like such a big boy. I also got him some Thomas underwear. I haven't shown them to him yet, but I am hoping some bribery might work!!! Other than not being potty trained, he has reached and surpassed (by a mile in most cases) all of the stuff they're "supposed" to do at 2 years old. I couldn't be prouder of how smart and beautiful my children are. I can imagine that every mother feels this way about their children, but I am just such a proud mommy!!!
