shove off

Dear Girls,

Last week your cousin, Milo, was over to play. You had a great time playing dress up and coloring. When I heard Avery say, "Hey, Milo! Watch this!!" I looked up with curiosity to see what she would proudly show her cousin. When I saw her place both hands on Carter's chest and shove, I was remarkably less enthusiastic.
Be. Nice.

Love,
Mom

and i'll cry if i want to

Girls, I love you. You had great birthday parties and I already can't wait to see what we come up with next year. All I know is that they will be as special as you are to me.

Carter,
I love it when you smile at me. You are the most mischievous person on the planet. And you are only ONE!! I hope you keep your sneaky smile and your spunky attitude. I can't get enough of you!

Love,
Mom

sharing time

Girls,
At 5am this morning Carter began to cry! Usually Avery just sleeps through it, but this morning, Av, you were not happy. While your dad got up to make C a bottle, Avery just kept yelling, "CARTER! THIS IS NOT YOUR ROOM! THIS IS MY ROOM!!"
Classic.

Love, Mommy

A conversation with Avery:

A: Mom, someday I am going to grow up like you did and eat all of my food like you did.
M: Yes, that's right! You will grow up and go to school and ride a roller coaster and someday you will get married and have a husband!
A: Yeah. What's a husband?
M: Daddy is my husband. A husband is the boy you get married to.
A: Yeah. Someday I am going to have a husband and he will be a ladybug husband because I love ladybugs.
