Averyisms
Avery likes to watch me pull lint off the collector from the dryer. “I love lint!” he says, “It’s so soft.” Then he whines at the fact that I simply throw a treasure like that away.
“Percy chocolate” – Hershey chocolate
“Lettuce gas” – unleaded gas
“Do skeletons have noses?”
“Bemember?” – remember?
“When Papa and I ching glasses, he says, ‘To the Queen”!
Avery’s monster trucks perform tricks, one in which he originally named the “Twizzer”.
Current fascinations:
1.) monster trucks
2.) tape – he enjoys taping things together, especially taping items shut (like the worn places on his puzzle boxes)
3.) Becoming a “big boy”. He refuses to wear anything with Winnie the Pooh and asked us to put his Winnie the Pooh church shoes in a garage sale. He also will not use the toddler silverware, plates or bowls.
4.) favorite colors are red, pink and brown (he likes red the most) – he is very loyal to these colors
We asked Avery “Why do you like the color brown?” He replied, “Because it reminds me of dirt.” (This is referring to the dirt on a monster truck or racecar track.) He also mentioned “I do not like blue and green.” We questioned, “Why do you not like blue and green?” With a scrunched face, Avery answered, “Because King and Chick are blue and green and I do not like them.” (characters from Disney “Cars” who compete against his favorite red car Lightning McQueen)
Avery still gets a delight when we read books and give characters funny voices. I find this precious since I know there will be a day when he will think that is too immature and will not enjoy it any longer.
