This morning at school, one of Bryton's girl classmates came over to us and showed us her pretty new sweatshirt and pink ball cap. Of course I made a big deal about them, saying how cute they were...when really she was only interested in Bryton's response, which was simply "they are nice."
Avery, on the other hand, put her hands on her hips and said, "ughhhh" 3 times in a low voice and turned around to face me w/ a scowl on her face (thank God the little girl was talking a mile a minute to Bryton and couldn't have cared less what Avery and I had to say) Bryton said to me, "why is Avery doing that? She isn't using her manners."
Avery and I had a little heart to heart, as we proceeded to walk out of the school. She kept her lower lip out as I talked to her about how she'd acted, but I hoped she was at least listening to what I was saying.
We pulled into our driveway, and she said "Wike (like) Pee-Po's (people's) hat. Wike Pee-Po's jacket, Mama."
So maybe we are making a little progress in the manners department?!

Avery has a right to her opinion but the timing may not have been ideal. love the new blog. Bean
At Avery's age it is cute. Keep teaching her the right way Jess and she won't disappoint you. Bryton is such a sweetheart. Quite the heartthrob. He is the one you will have to watch! The girls are going to drive you crazy.
