Toddler hobbies

Each week there seems to be some new fascination with our little boy. Lately, he loves to take off his pants, socks and shoes and sprint around the house laughing like he has done something naughty. Sometimes he has trouble with his velcro shoes and only manages to get one off. In the midst of wearing nothing but a shirt and a diaper, he will request that we help put his backpack on....just before he dashes off again.

If he wants us to play with him, Avery will grab our finger and pull us in the direction he desires. Most often, it's the bathroom or "ahrooom" where he plays with his toothbrush in the sink or a rubber duck while standing on his stepstool. Or, he leads us to the bedroom to read and put a diaper on his stuffed bear or to the kitchen for some "crah crah" (cracker). Sometimes he drags us to the TV and points to his "Elmo's Potty Time" video.

Nonetheless, Avery is always sweet to want to share his new hobbies with his parents and any other soul who will watch him have fun.
