This morning Mimi picked Avery up and took her to pick out a princess item. Avery has an obsession with princess things. She picked out the dress she is wearing in these pictures, and a crown. She has worn them all day.
This afternoon, Mimi picked Christian up and took him to karate, so it was just me and the girls. I think I've mentioned that Avery has given up her naps (already!) so it was the perfect afternoon to enjoy some outdoor time. As my kids get older, I find that they most often play together so well that I don't generally join in. But today, I did, and grabbed my camera, too.
Avery was very silly and giggly this afternoon in her princess dress, mismatched socks and hairbrush. Every few minutes, she would say that she needed to "bwush her hay-er." I guess a princess must always look her best.
She loves to jump!
And she loves to fall down.
Ansley loves to do flips on the trampoline. Of course, Avery tries to imitate her.
In some ways, I can hardly believe that almost three years have come and gone since she entered our lives. In other ways, I can't recall what life was like before her. Less exhausting, I'm sure. But she is the Baby, and she makes us laugh and keeps us on our toes. We sure do love that silly little girl.
Even if she does give up naps way before she should.
