My baby girl is FOUR. I say it every year, but every year it’s true: where the heck did the time go!? She had a big year. When she turned 3 she had just become a big sister and she has been truly amazing. She gives Oliver love, support, kindness and the occasional bossy attitude I would expect from a big sister. She started school for the first time and really blossomed. She made friends and relationships outside of family, which has been amazing to see. Avery has been really into learning how to spell and read sight words, though I feel school has been the most beneficial for her socially. She continued with her gym class and also started horse lessons before the quarantine began. In Avery's eyes her world stopped in it's tracks but she is slowly getting back into the swing of things. We are hoping she will be able to resume horse lessons soon! She and Oliver have stayed happy and healthy so I will always been extremely thankful for that. Avery’s become so grown up and independent. Her self confidence continues to build as she navigates becoming her own person. She is really into music lately. Particularly The Killers, The Beatles, and Guster. I look forward to when we can take her to concerts again. She is so fun to watch at concerts; her excitement, her singing and her gratitude. That is the one thing that continues to stick with her; her gratitude. For her birthday we couldn't do a big party like we planned, but we still decorated the house for her anyway. Toy Story 4 was her theme. She woke up and saw all of the decorations and must have thanked Chris and I 30 times for the decorations. It was the sweetest thing and made buying the decorations totally worth it. Along with Toy Story, she has been super into Star Wars and LOVES Darth Vader. One day Avery asked Alexa to play the Imperial March. It starts to play and she says “That’s me. I’m Darth.” I have loved watching her grow this year, as I have every year before and I know I will continue to each year after this. She’s my favorite girl in the whole world. My built-in best friend. One of my best accomplishments. I asked her 20 questions that I plan to ask her every year as she grows up. This is what she said.
