I turn my head for a second and when I look back he’s eaten half a page of National Geographic. Maybe he’s just a fan of high gloss paper.

Avery: “I only have two nipples. But I need to have more nipples.”
Me: “What???”
A: “You have a lot of nipples Mommy!” (while pointing to my freckles)
M: “Do you mean freckles?”
A: “Um…yes! Why are you laughing Mommy?”
Avery consistently mixes up these two words. I see some awkward situations in our future.

I’ve noticed that, in her pretend play, my daughter refuses to pretend to eat foods that she dislikes in reality. She will take the plastic pickles off a plastic hamburger the same way she insists they be removed from a real burger. I doubt this is a serious lapse in her imagination, but I find it kind of disconcerting when she looks at me, shakes her head soberly, and says “I don’t like the eggplant! Yech!”. She won’t even play with the distasteful plastic eggplant and she’s never even tasted it! Come to think of it, neither have I.
