Who knew that 6 7 would be such a cultural phenomenon that it would be selected as dictionary.com's word of the year? This trend may not last, but the timing was perfect for great-niece Avery's birthday!
Since Avery has started to choose the theme for her birthday party, I try to anticipate what she will select. I thought it would be 6 7, or possibly Taylor Swift, but then I learned about her love of Labubu collectibles and thought for sure that would be it. Definitely NOT! She chose Wicked.
Let's just say that she has had a "wickedly" interesting year.
Her first day of school sign showed a significant change this year. In preschool and kindergarten she said she wanted to be a doctor, but this year she wants to be a teacher.
I wonder how many careers we will see on that sign in the future?
This year Avery experienced many "firsts." She lost her first tooth, added a balance beam to her play room, appeared on her school's social media page, had her ears pierced . . .
. . . and was featured as a design critic in Chicago magazine.
Avery can still be seen hanging around with Lincoln, her best pal.
However, she LOVES cats and seems to find them everywhere she goes.
Love cats? Why not get a job at the local pet store? Another first for her this year.
On my birthday, Avery sent me a very sweet video and told me that she hopes she will make me birthday cookies some day. She is a good baker and has already learned the problem with black food coloring that I had to use for her Halloween cookies.
Avery was 6 now she's 7, but no matter what her age she continues to be wicked sweet.
Love, hugs and cookies to a very special girl!
