Few Firsts



Today, was Avery's first


Primary Presentation. I was so



excited for her. She was a little



hesitant at first and daddy




had to walk her up to the



stage.


She didn't stand up at first



when they sang the songs, but



after the first few she



participated with the others.


We




have been practicing the line




she was supposed to say for a





few weeks now and




she had it memorized perfectly.



I was surprised to hear when




she stood up at the pulpit that




she had to look at the








teacher, because they had her



saying a totally different line. I





was disappointed for Avery



because she did have






the line they gave us




memorized, but she did super



anyway! I can't believe how



grown up she is. She is so




smart




and so bright.















Please let me introduce you to


a new member of our family.


Barbie, the Mermaid. I never


thought this day would




happen. I am NOT a Barbie fan


and was hoping my girls would



never get into it.




But, it happened. It was out of



my hands. Last week I had a



doctors appointment and




Delaney fell in love with this



monster truck that was in the


waiting room toys. She would



not give it back. I asked the



receptionist what I could



pay for the truck and she kindly



said that it was her son's at


one



point and that she could have



it.



If I knew then how



many fights would happen


because of that truck, I would


of


never asked. I told Avery that I



would get her a monster



truck next time we were at the



store. She quickly responded



back with, "well, how bout a



Barbie instead?" I was



shocked because I honestly



didn't think she knew what a




Barbie was.




So, long story short, Avery now



is the proud owner of a new



Barbie. Delaney is now a



proud



new owner of a small toy


four wheeler. Brian loved that



Delaney picked out a




"non-girly" toy over a Barbie!




Avery sleeps with her Barbie,



swings on the swing with



Barbie. I have to admit it is fun



to watch her



take such good care of



something that is "just hers".



She even shares with Delaney.
