Avery. Miss Avery if You're Nasty!

An old post I forgot to publish...
So here's a great picture of Avery for those who may be doubting the status of her quickly-developing attitude.
Since Rudi has a penchant for throwing away cloth prefolds when Avery poops outside of the house, I bought some disposables for use outside of the home. Well, Avery prefers them and will not go back to cloth. The diapers have little suns and clouds on them and Avery joyfully exclaims "Care Bears belly badge! Sunshine Bear belly badge!" Although she is quite baffled about why the disposables go in the trash. She says, "Diaper trash, why?" Hopefully it'll pass...
Whereas Riley had the "why"s by the age of two (heck, she still does) Avery has "What is this?" "What is THIS" "What is this?" Soemtimes it borders on the ridiculous. "What is this pants?" "They're pants, dear" "Oh."
So I've never been a fan of anti-bacterial stuff; gels, wipes, soaps, etc. In fact I hate the whole anti-bacterial movement. I intentionally DON'T buy hand soap, dish soap, etc. if it is anti-bacterial. Until Riley picked up a dog turd at the park on Thursday. She held it up "Mommy, what's this?" I run over hoping on all that is holy that it's just a damp pine cone, a clump of dirt, anything other than what it most likely is. I arrive at the scene, and say "Aaaah, it's a dog log! Drop it! No, don't touch your face!" To which Riley replies, "I just wanted to smell my fingers!" Then I go around begging for Purell, all the while wondering why my four-year-old doesn't know dog poop when she sees it. Or wonders what her fingers smell like after she touches it.
I don't usually post links to other sites, but here's a funny one. Stuff White People Like. Disclaimer: If you're a white person who cannot take a joke or find humor in your life, don't bother reading it. I found that I am a whole lot more white than I thought I was!
