27 Month Update

Here is what's happening in month 27:

• This has been the month of "The Rescuers" and "Finding Nemo" - Avery calls Hung "Marlin" and she is "Nemo". When he picks her up from school she runs over yelling "Hi Marlin". Lots of fantasyland-imagination going on with Disney movies!
• I realized that I say "How does that sound?" a lot because Avery is always suggesting something (like a treat) and then saying "How does that sound?". It's SO cute that it's hard to say no.
• It's so fun reading stories before bed because I am realizing that Avery has a lot of them memorized and can finish the sentences for me. 
• Avery has some new awesome dance moves - Really gets into it!
• She oddly loves to eat frozen pancakes for breakfast. They are fully cooked so we assume it's OK but super strange.
• Avery will hold your face and say "Look at my face and listen to my words".
• She is learning about Santa and starting to get excited for Christmas. Avery says she is going to ask Santa for M&M's, a triangle and 2 kangaroos. So random! She is also worried that Santa might be getting sick so she is going to leave him soup along with Cookies and Milk to help him feel better. 
• They've been talking about "matching" at school - Avery is consistently pointing out things that match. She loves to show us matching colors and shapes and animals..."See, they MATCH!".
• Potty Training is great - Pretty much no accidents and just in pull-ups for Nap and Bedtime.
• Avery wears a 3T or 4T and an 8 or 9 shoe
• Her favorite toys are stuffed animals - There are too many favorites to count and they all have names.
• The other day she grabbed my laptop, opened it and said "I need to check my e-mail." 
•  Avery loves pockets - walks around with her hands in her coat pockets and is always excited when her clothes have them.
• Her favorite song right now is "Royals" by Lordes. She always finishes the second "Royals" or "Rulers" for you.
• When she gets in her mad, terrible two mode she yells "This is NOT good for me!"
• When she walks in a room she'll usually say "What are you guys doing?" or "What's everyone talking about?"
• She has so many different pretend characters that she likes to play that sometimes she forgets and will say "What's my name?" or "Who am I?" and we have to remind her if she's Copper, or Nemo, or Penny, or etc. etc. 
• She loves Minnie's Pat Salon and likes to set up her own "salon" in our dining room. It's an odd salon - It consists of taking her Piano, putting lots of small, random toys behind it, taping some bows to the wall and then playing a toy recorder. She has to "set up" and then once she is good to go, the music starts.
• At school the teachers does "lessons" with each student individually so Avery now comes home and gives us "lessons". Lessons are one of Hung's favorite Avery things right now. 

Avery was a little too into her movie to take time out for photos....
