Sweet Avery Stuff

Avery continues to be such a sweet girl with the kindest heart. Some cute things I want to remember:

• I made this shepherd's pie for dinner and Avery said "I usually don't like peas, onions or zucchini but I love how all the flavors blend together and then with the cauliflower mash on top if really just adds another level of flavor" SO sweet!
• She is really into her Pandora Charm bracelet. She got to pick out some new charms for her b-day and was so thoughtful and thorough with her choices. Like not really wanting holiday ones cause it's not the holiday all year round. Brooklyn also has one so they talk about it a lot and want to get Best Friend charms to match.
• Avery is really really loving her horse back riding lessons and acting class. They are both a huge hit this fall!
• Avery is doing a great job with some drama at recess - She is not joining these "exclusive" clubs and making sure everyone is included during recess
• She was really proud of herself for getting the hustle award at Gym last week!
• Avery has so many good friends in the neighborhood - Free evenings and weekend days are spent with kids running from house to house playing all sorts of things. This past weekend Avery and Brooklyn set up a whole carnival in our basement and then invited other kids over to play games, dance, and get their faces painted.
• Avery did awesome on her Reading and Match testing this fall. 99th percentile in reading and 91st percentile in Math. She loves reading and has lots of different chapter book series she is into like Critter Club, Owl Diaries and Junie B Jones to name a few.
• She went to a neighbors for dinner the other night and they told us she is welcome anytime because she has such great manners and is so polite. We loved hearing that!!
• Avery is always writing little sweet notes and still loves playing pretend more than anything.
• She is a funny and kind girl and I am so happy that 2nd grade is off to a good start!
