Avery is 6!

Avery Leigh, you are officially 6 years old!  You've been planning and counting down to your birthday for months!  You were so excited about your birthday party and couldn't wait to have all of your friends over.

 

You continue to do everything at full speed.  You are constantly running, climbing and rushing through everything that you do.  We are constantly telling you to slow down.  You attempt to climb just about anything and you are obsessed with doing the monkey bars.

You are super social and loved school this past year!  You were friends with everyone and played with both girls and boys.  You weren't super interested in school work this past year and it was usually tough for us to convince you to practice reading, writing or sight words.  School is definitely more social for you.

 

You are still quite the picky eater.  You prefer to snack or eat desserts, rather than meals.  Your favorite foods include: tacos, pbj sandwiches, strawberries, donuts and cereal.  You are a huge breakfast eater and we tend to think it's because you don't eat much at dinner most nights.  You love juices, Gatorade, lemonade and red drink (fruit punch).

You still love babies and younger kids.  You usually gravitate to your cousin, Emmy, and you like to mother her.  You are always asking to hold babies.  You love playing school and that is usually what you choose to do when you play by yourself in your room.  Your kindergarten teacher gave you lots of her old school stuff and you got a "teacher's pointer" for your birthday and you are loving using it all!

You continue to be super girly, preferring to wear dresses and as many accessories as possible.  You love long maxi dresses and skirts.  You love to have your nails painted and love to wear high heels. 

 

Happy 6th Birthday, Avery Leigh!
