Blueberry Pancakes

It's fun to see a little kid's imagination at work. Avery recently rented a Curious George book at the library in which George, the monkey, helps make blueberry pancakes. At lunch, he tried making his own pancakes by poking blueberries in his bread and telling me about his George pancakes. However, when I let him help me make actual blueberry pancakes, he decided he didn't like the taste and picked out the blueberries.

Alvin and Dale Chipmunks

Grandpa Alvin gave Avery a stuffed Alvin the Chipmunk doll at his last visit. It has become his best friend and travels everywhere with Avery. Noticing his interest in chipmunks, we rented a Chip and Dale video from the library. Avery LOVES this video and will ask to watch it over and over. However, he refuses to acknowledge Chip. It must be "Alvin and Dale".

Toddler Hygiene

We're trying to teach Avery about taking care of himself in the mornings by having a daily routine of brushing his teeth, washing his face and brushing his hair. While he may be more interested in chewing on his toothbrush and sucking the Thomas the Tank Engine toothpaste, or trying to toss the hairbrush in the toilet, at least it's a start.
