33 Month Update

Here are some fun things from Month 33:

• Hung was cutting down boxes with a knife and cut jeans by accident. Avery asked what happened and after he told her she went into the kitchen and got a fork. She gave it to Hung and said not to use knives anymore and the fork would be safer. 
• Avery threw a fit on the way home from school one day and was screaming at Hung that she would "NOT SAY THE MAGIC WORD" for her snack. So she got home, calmed down and we had a normal night. When she was ready for bed she went up to Hung, unprompted,  and took Hung's hand. She told him "Daddy, we got in a fight and it was my fault and I am sorry. Next time, I'll say 'Thanks Daddy for bringing my raisins for my snack.'" It was so darn sweet and thoughtful of her.
• I was putting Avery down for a nap and she was stalling and being a little difficult. I was tired too and snapped a bit. And Avery said "Mama, you are frustrated and I don't want you to be frustrated with me." That pulled me out of my mood quickly!! 
• Avery's teacher said "Avery, you look pretty today." And Avery replied "Not as pretty as you Ms. Sandy." 
• Avery was making up lullaby's with me before bed. Her Avery lullaby went like this "Avery loves rainbows and birdies" and my lullaby went like this "Mommy loves birdies and birdies love rainbows". And then she made up one for Hung that went like this "Daddy loves beer and daddy loves coffee."
• Avery and Hung were at the park. They met a little girl names Livy. And Avery said "My name is Avery Come Trieu". And Hung said "I'm Daddy" and Avery said "No, your name is H-Tiggity" (which is what my mom calls him and she now thinks it is part of his name).
• Avery loves playing outside so we are very happy to have our new backyard - If it's a nice night we are at the park, on her play-set or playing in the front yard with sidewalk chalk and bubbles.  
• I usually put Avery to bed and she always resists when Hung tries to "Rock-a-bye" (as we call it). One night Hung asked if he could put her to bed and she said no and got really upset. We asked why and she said "Because Daddy farts in my room." The girl has a very sensitive sense of smell - any scent and she goes "EEEEWWWW What is that SMELL???!!" 
• She uses the term "I killed it" when she eats something she really likes. We were having dinner with Grammy the other night and she was having olives from salad bar. When she was done Avery said, "I killed those olives."
• She just keeps growing!! 4T is getting too small and I now need size 5/6 shirts!! She has my long torso and the 4T's look like crop tops :) 
• Avery says Bitar (Guitar), Sun Cream (Sun Screen), Pazani (Lasagna), Sail Boat (Garage Sail) and Pasghetti (Spaghetti) - There are other funny ones but those are the top that come to mind.
• She has an awesome little lisp that I will miss dearly when it goes away
