two beaucoups

A quick post of highlights of the first weekend of November:
Yesterday, you were a big helper.  Mind you, you normally are a good helper, but yesterday, you did it often and while helping us unload the dishwasher, you declared, "Avery helping!"  You really were, too.  You also tried to help me with cooking, which was going well until you pushed a little too hard on the pan and sent it tumbling to the floor.  It bumped your feet, but not hard enough to even bruise.  Some kissies from daddy and mommy and you were back to helpful mode quite soon after.
You also tried to help mommy with switching out the decorations from Halloween to Fall/Thanksgiving--had to watch you on that because you still don't get the concept of 'fragile' ;)
Today we went to Meijer (which you still pronounce closer to "Maui") and you were very good there.  Lately you like to ride on the end of the cart (thank you Grandma Judy for teaching you that lol) and get very upset if we put things in the cart instead of you.  Even if we try to sneak an item in while you are distracted, you spot it after the fact and insist on removing the item and putting it back in yourself.
At home, you played in the sink (again--did this yesterday, too) and got your sleeves wet (again).  You also wet your underwear, which is the first time that has happened since we've been trying to get you used to it instead of diapers.
At bedtime, as usual, we always say "Je t'aime beaucoup" (I love you) to you; what cracks us up is that you will quantify it and inform us that it's "two beaucoups!"
