29 Month Update

Here are some fun and new things happening in Month 29:

• Avery picked up the sayings "Oh Shit" and "Dammit" - So Avery and G made up a new word called "Ding Ding" and Avery promised to say that instead of the bad words. When she was on her way back to school after winter break she said "I am gonna tell all my friends about Ding Ding."
• She is moving on from Frozen and is now really into a show called "Sheriff Callie's Wild West" on Disney Junior. All her rocking horses are back out in full force and she's talking like she's from the Wild West. She used the term "Sufferin' Sansafras". 
• Update: After about 2 weeks she hated Sheriff Callie and got mad if we mentioned it and then decided she likes it again.
•  She seems to be going through a growth spurt. Her 3T stuff is starting to get tight and we had to go stock up on 4T
• The one day I told Avery I wanted to squeeze her butt and she told me "It's just skin. It's not a toy and you can't play with it."
• Her teachers told us that a girl at school was trying to take Avery's snack and she said "Olivia, look at my eyes. Look at my beautiful eyes and don't take my snack."
• She continues to be all about Imagination - We spend most of our time playing some sort of pretend (Doc McStuffins, Scooby Doo, Little Einsteins, Frozen, Mickey, Rescuers etc.). When Hung drops her off at school she's usually in Fantasyland and her teacher, Ms. Sandy, always says "Good Morning Aves" and then Avery whispers who she is. The other day she goes "I'm Muno" (from Yo Gabba). Her teachers seem to go along with it but she is one quirky kid.
• She is so fun to read books to - She has most of them memorized and helps me read them. I am amazed by her memory! It also takes FOREVER to read a book because we have to talk through what ever person/animal/object on the page is doing. She can really stretch out the bed time reading :)
• Avery was really liking Hot Dogs so Hung bought her some that had cheese inside. She hated them - the next night Hung asked if she wanted a Hot Dog at the basketball game we were going to and she said "Yeah. Daddy the hot dogs you get were terrible. They had cheese in it and I really didn't like it." She loves telling us things are "awful" or "terrible".
• She loves to listen to the music from Frozen in the car and sing along
• Avery uses the terms "Sure", "That's Crazytown", "I'm sorry. It's all my fault", "Great Idea" and "How does that idea sound" 
• She learned the term boring and will say "I'm Bored! That means that there is nothing to do and I am sad."
• She is not one bit shy! Whenever we are out and about she is very friendly and introduces herself. Although sometimes she introduces herself as whoever she is pretending to be. We were at Target and she told the check out woman "Hi I'm Anna of Arendelle". Oddly on the phone and when the video camera is on she gets pretty shy.
• The other night she was really tired and wanted to watch a show in our bedroom before going to sleep. She had Dora in bed with her and me on the other side. Hung said "Can I come lay with you guys?" Avery said "No daddy - There's no room for you. You go downstairs - there's room for you down there." Poor Hung!
• Avery is just a complete chatterbox - So inquisitive, funny and smart. She keeps us smiling, laughing and on our toes!
