Meanwhile, I had to be sure to write down one of your expressions that I find so cute: 'gram-o-meters'. This is a measure that you came up with for height. For example, you tell us things like, "Baby cat is 6 gram-o-meters and her sister is 8 gram-o-meters" lol.
You are absolutely amazing at math, honestly. Not only that, you love doing it and request it. We practice adding and subtracting, and a little bit of multiplication (10's). You can handle pretty big numbers and don't even need to use your hands for the most part.
Recently, we went to Nana Linda's for Father's day weekend (and for mommy to visit before leaving to France). A few days prior to going there, mommy bought you an inflatable pool, which you really enjoy a lot. We took it to Nana's and you played in it quite a bit; we left it there so that you can play in it more when you return next week. You're going to spend some time at Nana's, then some time at Grandma Judy's, so that daddy can have some time to get work done on his dissertation.
While at Nana's this last time, you made drawings for daddy and Pa-Pa Junior, which they of course really liked for Father's day. You showed off your reading skills when Aunt Lenora, Uncle Bill, and Uncle Larry came to visit for a while (I took a couple of videos and posted them to Facebook). Our favorite moment was when Uncle Bill was joking around about birthdays and remarked, "Oh, I've had too many birthdays now, I don't even know how to count anymore." You piped up immediately in response, "I know how, I'll teach you!" LOL!
Fauxhawks--not sure if mommy has already mentioned this one...it's the name of your imaginary store. The store seems to sell everything, is close by, and never closes. Quite convenient! They even sell "mommy magic potion", which is now the cure for any injury you get (is pretty much a daily occurrence with you running around all the time).
And last, I will add the Facebook post that daddy put up tonight about you, which everyone loves:
Avery is playfully repeating everything I say. To mess with him, I said, "The square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides."
He replied, "This is a square that doesn't care about the other two squares."
Love always, mommy
