Jonah's visit to Avery's house...

Avery's classroom at the Nike Daycare has a stuffed monkey named Jonah. One of her teachers thought it would be a good idea if Jonah visited each of the kids houses so that we could document Jonah's adventures with each family to get to know more about each other.

Here are some photos from Jonah's visit to Avery's house over the past week. Avery took Jonah on lots trips to the park....


Avery showed Jonah her favorite thing about the park in our neighborhood...the 'quack quacks in the wa-wa'....

Avery and Jonah also played around in our backyard on the slide...

For Thanksgiving, we went to Sean and Mindy's house for dinner. Another couple with a daughter a couple months younger than Avery was there too. Here's Avery with Karen and Delaney (and all of their monkey pals)...

Do monkey's eat Turkey??? Jonah did not eat much at dinner, but Avery ate enough for them both!

We started a new family tradition and stayed away from the day after Thanksgiving sales. Instead, we went downtown to the Macy's Day-After-Thanksgiving Parade. After Avery got over her fear of marching bands, she had a really good time....

Jonah even got to come with us to Gymboree. Here is Avery with Jonah the Monkey and Gymbo the Clown...

This picture cracks me up! Avery is so cute at breakfast time....

Avery had a great time having Jonah over to visit. Now the real interesting thing will be to see what happens when Jonah is done visiting kids at home and is back in the classroom. I think Avery may come down with a case of "mine-itus" since she is used to having Jonah all to herself. Maybe this was more than just a silly exercise, but a lesson in sharing as well. We'll see.

In other news, our little girl climbed out of her crib and peed on the potty this weekend. Isn't she just 17 months old!??! She is growing up too quickly!!!!!
