No Talking = More Talking

First off, yes, I did write this on St. Patricks day and yes, I did just find it.....waiting for me to hit "publish post"....Enjoy :)

Tonight as I was putting Avery to bed she was being so sweet. She was so excited about St. Patricks birthday as she calls it. She LOVED that she was able to and encouraged even to pinch those not wearing green. London was equally excited and wanted to talk about Patrick ALL day....where is he? What does he do? It's his birthday (that was their own idea), pinching people- YAY! They would mix up blue and green nearly everytime! "So we get to pinch people not wearing blue?!"

Tonight though as I was sitting next to Avery while she was tucked into bed she was just talking, talking, talking. She was so sweet it was hard to make her stop. She was filled with smiles and excitment. So cute. I finally said, "You really need to stop talking and go to sleep". She nods, "oh yeah, ok mommy."....then she takes not even 3 seconds and looks at me, very seriously and says "sooooooooo, Mommy, how was your day?". I smile, and say "good, thank you for asking. Now you really, really need to stop talking and go to sleep". She looks at me gives two really heavy sighs, looks up with her sweet blue eyes to the left like she is really trying to figure out how to stop talking and she looks at me with eyes that are hopeful to please and says "ok, I will just talk to myself". I let her do this for a while, because she is so cute I can't even handle myself. Shortly after talking to herself she looks at me again and says "so I get to pinch people who don't where blue?!"....again, so sweet, so cute, melting my heart and I am fighting the urge to just talk with her for hours and I say, "yes, baby, that is how St Patricks day works- but you really, really need to stop talking and go to bed".....she smiles and says "Ok, Mommy".....then proceeds to talk to me with no voice- just lips a movin', her eyes alive with excitement and her smile from ear to ear. I love my dear, sweet, talking Avery.
