We run out of sticky notes pretty fast at our house. Recently, we've resorted to just cutting up scrap paper into little squares to help save a little money buying new stickies. A pad of sticky notes can be found in every room in the house as well as the glove compartments of both vehicles.
Why the obsession with sticky notes? It is because I can't remember all of the millions of little things that pop up during the day that I need to do unless I write them items down. Therefore, I try to quickly write things down and keep a pile of the used stickies to sift through later.
Many of the things I write down are funny sayings that Avery randomly comes up with. Below are some scenarios of funny or cute Avery anecdotes recorded in the past few weeks:
1.) Avery noticed my toenails were painted red. He laughed and called them "cherry toes".
2.) Our old, 1996 red Toyota Tercel needed an inspection. Avery went with Clint to take care of it. Clint explained to Avery that the car was sort of going to the doctor. Later, Avery told me that "Lightning McQueen" (our red car) went to the doctor because he had a boo boo. He got a band aid and now "is OK".
3.) One of Avery's BUM Kids teachers told me how much Avery seemed to love his raisins at snack time. This reminded me of his daddy. When Clint was little, he loved raisins too and would spend his allowance money buying them.
4.) We sometimes like to drive through the park because it is very scenic. There are speed bumps on the road to keep people from driving too fast. When Avery felt the car going over the speed bumps, and because he didn't understand the concept of a speed bump, he was very concerned that his mommy was "hitting the squirrels".
5.) Avery noticed that the large flag on the flagpole wasn't waving. I told him that it needed the wind to blow in order to wave. It wasn't waving because it wasn't windy. Avery simply said that it needed "new batteries" because "it not working".
We love the way his little mind works. : )
