She's a breath of fresh air!

I started a journal when Avri was born. I would write down my fears and things I thought about her! I wrote one day how amazed I was by her. It seems as though she has a gift for connecting with everyone! She is so loving and tender to everyone. She remembers everything. She remembers what everyone in the family drives. She goes to senior nursery and the leaders tell me that when they can't remember a name they ask Avri.
I am pregnant with her little sister and once again so sick. I would run into the bathroom to throw up and little Avri was right behind me. We shared the toilet as we threw up together. She always has had such a bad gag reflex. I am not sure if me throwing up just grossed her out but she threw up right along side me.
After I was realeased from the hospital from having my second. The neighbor brought us dinner. It was home made pizza. Avri was almost 4 at the time. She started to eat the pizza and said " this is the best pizza I never had" then proceeded to pick everything off the top and continues saying " this is the best pizza I never had" her tone was as if it was the best pizza she had ever had. Finally after it was all picked apart she looked up at me and said" this isn't the best pizza anymore"
She loved playing waitress. She would go around with a note pad and a pencil asking what people wanted to order, and when we were out any time we drove up to anywhere if the window was down she would yell out her order.
As loving as she was she was always trying to give away her little sister. People would ask to hold her. They would go on about how cute she was and Avri would always be so quick to say "O you can have her"
One of my favorite was one day we were at Albertsons and the cashier asked me for my membership card, so I handed her my keys. Avri huffed up right up and in a frustrated grown up voice said with her hands on her hips " I don't know why every time we come into this store you charge my mom for her keys"!
Avri started preschool in the fall of 2000. She loved it and to my amazement she was right on the same level as all the other kids. She was kind of like the mother hen to them all. As far as her work she was right where she needed to be. I wrote in my journal "she is ok, she is more than ok"
