Some Funny Avery Stories

• Hung gave Avery one of our old iPhones so she can take pictures. She takes it very seriously and is always asking where her phone is. And she asked to have a password on it and is always asking us what our passwords are. I took her to see the new Chipmunk Movie and as we were driving there, she goes "Crap! I forgot my phone." And now I totally am catching myself saying Crap and need to watch it.

• Hung took Avery to Costco to get new tires put on our car. They were getting a snack and an employee walked by and another employee asked where he got his hat and the guy goes "Oh I stole it from the office" - In a laid back and joking way. Avery's eyes got wide and she says to Hung "Daddy, that guy stole something! We need to tell someone." She was just appalled even when Hung tried to tell her that he was joking. "No Daddy, he stole and we need to tell someone about it."

• We were reading a book called "The Little Princess" and in it the Mom and Dad both die so I got worried it would upset her and maybe we should stop reading it. I asked her if she was OK and she goes "I mean Hershey died, Aunt Jeanette died, it's fine. I don't care." Very compassionate Aves!

• It was my birthday and Avery and Hung went shopping for my gift. She really wanted to keep it a secret so she kept saying things like "Sorry we didn't get you a gift mom" "We are just getting you a card. Sorry mom." And then she said at one point "Sorry we didn't get you an infinity scarf." And "I know you really wanted an infinity scarf. Sorry mom." It was so cute - And then she would look at hung and cover her mouth and giggle and "wink". Her wink is closing both eyes tightly. It was just so sweet how badly she wanted to surprise me but just couldn't keep it in. And then on birthday she told me I was really old and almost a Grandma :)

• She has gone from calling Taylor "Baby Brother" to "Tay Tay". And she just loves him being around him and is always trying to make him smile and has to give him a hug and kiss before bed. It's so sweet seeing her be sweet with him. If I ever say something like "I love you so much Avery" she goes "MOM. What about Tay Tay??" And she calls him her playmate. 

• She is so lovey lately - Always wanting to give hugs and kisses to all of us. And saying how much she loves us. She told Hung "You are just the best Daddy" - All the love and compliments are just so honest and wonderful and appreciated. "I need a tight huggy and kiss!"

• Her new favorite thing is to have a dance competition. She wants to have one EVERY night. And she takes it very seriously. Fist Hung or I have to dance and then the judge gives them a score. She has to stand in a certain spot that she calls the background to wait her turn to dance. And then she always wants to dance to Katy Perry or Taylor Swift and she shakes her booty and then gets her score and ALWAYS has to win. She hates any song where a boy sings.

• We went shopping at Nordstroms - My mom got me a new purse for my birthday and as we were looking one of the sales guys was playing with Avery and helping her pick purses and model them. He was super sweet to her - He was probably 18 and did have some bad acne. When we walked away I said "Wasn't he so nice Avery?" And her response was "Even though he had Chicken Pox he was really nice." I tried to explain acne but not sure she cared.
