Lovin the Cousins

Avery age 2 !/2

3 times a month my Jenni, Jana and I take turns watching all the cousins so we can have a couple weekend nights a month to go on dates. It has become the highlight of the week for all the kids. (They LOVE their cousins!!!)

Today while we were shopping, Avery said out of the blue, "Ahhh, I so assited for cousin late ober"
translation: "I'm so excited for cousin late over"

(I wonder if they will still have cousin late overs when they are teenagers.... i hope so! I love that they are the best of friends)

Princess Avery

Avery age 2 1/2

Kaden and Avery were watching Repunzul on TV and then decided they wanted to play "Princess and Prince". Avery ran in to get her Cinderella costume on so she could be a "pincess Avree" and Kaden put a sword down his pants and said he didn't need a costume... just the sword.

Well, pretty soon I hear Avery say, "DayDee (Kaden) dance with me" and I looked over and they were holding hands going around in circles.

I think it's the first time they have played make believe when it was more "girly" instead of killing ninja turtles or going on rocket launches!

As a side note, it's been fun to see Avery get a little more into girl things. As we were watching the movie, I said, Avery look, it's a castle. Avery said, "Oh, I LOVE castles and princesses"
