1st Play Date of 2010!

Today we had a great time meeting up with Erika and her sweet baby Coraline. We first headed to Ikea, then McDonald's, then to Erika's house. My little Avery is quite the aggressive player. =( She does not know how to be gentle to dogs, babies or adults. Earlier this week she hit me so hard it broke skin. I walked around with a big old welt under my eye and had no idea. No wonder I was getting some crazy looks at breakfast. I know she does not fully understand what she is doing or how strong she is, but man it hurt!

She kept beating up on Erika's two dogs. They put up with it, thankfully, but I was quite embarrassed! Then, she started beating up on Coraline. Sigh! We decided we need a bigger kid in her Little Gym class to hit her back just once so she knows it is not fun, funny or fascinating. (I know that sounds horrible, but I'm not sure how else she will learn. She thinks the word NO does not apply to her in any way.) I also need to get her to understand the concept of sharing. Thank you sweet Lady Bird for graciously sharing ALL of your toys!

Thank you Erika and Coraline for having us over. We hope to do it more often!

Cuties! I absolutely LOVE this picture!

Future Besties!

Happy Girl.

I know this is blurry and cut off, but Ave makes this face all the time. It is hilarious!

Erika pulling the girls in the COOLEST wagon ever! (Notice Ave winding up to hit Coraline. Sorry again Coraline. We really do love you!!!)
