Avery Said...

The other night Avery was choosing his bedtime stories for me to read.  He chose one of his Curious George stories - an old favorite.  He handed me the book and said, "Remember the funny part where George gets stinked by a skunk?"

I love his little language and grammar mistakes!  He's growing up and they happen less often now.  But they always make me smile.

This afternoon we went to Target to pick up a few things.  As we were walking in the front door he said to me, "Can I have a cake pop?  It would be really delightful to have a cake pop right now!"  I love this child's amazing vocabulary.

And thinking about Target just now reminded me of another cute thing he said when we were at Target last week.  ( Yes, I know.  We probably go to Target too much!)  But anyway, we were standing in front of the yogurt section and Avery picked up a package of yogurts and said to me, "Mom let me tell you why this yogurt is so special.  See these little M&M's on the top?  That makes this yogurt more special."  An older woman standing next to us started chuckling and she and I shared a few comments about the cute things little ones say.  Then Avery tugged on my shirt and said, "Mom, that lady is a stranger.  Did you forget you're not supposed to talk to strangers?"  At this point, the lady burst out laughing and said, "He sure is a smart little guy."
