Funny Avery Things Over Christmas Break

We have had LOTS of time together since Avery has been off school for 2 weeks and wanted to capture some of the funny things she has been saying and doing:

• My mom was getting her ready for bed and said "Avery, do you want to put on your underwear?" and Avery said "No thanks. I want to air out my ginee tonight."
• Everything is pretend (usually with a slight stutter). "Pre-Pre-Pretend that you are x and I am y and you say z". Everything is now scripted out and Avery directs us and gets really annoyed if we don't follow every instruction. And every instruction starts with "Pretend that".
• She LOVES her new puppet theater- When she was first playing with it Cullen suggested that she crouch down and she said "But then the audience won't see my face!". After each show, we have to go get an autograph book and she is Dorothy (in her Merida costume) and signs her autograph and takes pictures with us. The set up of the show and buying tickets plus the autographs at the end are the majority of the game.
• She was asking me for those "curly peanuts that G was eating" - We realized she meant Cashews.
• We were at Recreation Unlimited today with Avery's class and she was desperately chasing Lila and urgently needing to tell her something. It turned out to be "Have you ever been to Noodles and Company?". Very important! Then Lila told her something and Avery said "Good point Lila!".
• I was getting so sick of Avery asking for snacks and treats on our many car rides this vacation so she now says in this shy voice "Did you say no snacks?" whenever she wants something to eat.
• She was copying Hung and doing some work with her tools and she put on a Batman mask and called it her "Screw Mask" and her "Banging Mask". She said it protects her eyes when banging.
• She got socks from Santa and the elves and said "Boring!"
• Besides her puppet theater and costumes she also really loved her Cash Register, play-doh sets and Candyland game that she got for Christmas. She has been playing with the Furry Pet Salon the most - we grow the pet's hair and then Avery quickly makes them bald.
• We discovered the Rainbow Rocks My Little Pony Movie - She likes to play Adagio (the BAD one) and be really mean and copy the movie. Obsessed!
• YIPPEE is a very common response
• My Grandma asked Avery where Hung is and she says "My daddy is taking care of his daddy."
• I have been getting lots of love - I love you so much mommy, I never want to leave you and when she hugs me she says she wants to stay like that forever - great by me!
