Allow Me to Brag...

Avery had been painting at school lately. She did her second painting today. When I went to pick her up, Miss Elizabeth told me that Avery's artwork is so detailed and really advanced for her age. She said "I've been teaching for 27 years and I have NEVER seen a child that advanced for their age. Just something to think about when you decide to get her involved in activities." Holy cow. Riley has always been the artist, but yeah, I can see what she's saying now. Avery is doing some sort of artwork about 90% of her time. Huh...
Oh, and one more thing...Avery appears to be really good at basketball. There is a little plastic Little Tikes net at her school and she just stands there and throws ball after ball in the hoop. She even does jump shots. I don't know where she picks it up from, since it'll be a cold day in hell before Rudi or me puts basketball on TV, and there's no basketball net in our neighborhood. Funny considering that she'll be lucky if she grows to be 5 feet tall.
