Such a Big Girl Now...

Avery was thrilled to get her very first iPod shuffle yesterday! It is new-to-her (just $25 on Craigslist!) and purchased with her saved allowance money. She was so excited (understatement) and it was really fun to go with her to get it and watch her enjoy it these last couple of days.
We have been on the reluctant end of the spectrum (another understatement) when it comes to purchasing electronics for Avery & Ella. They have such great imaginations -- we would much rather see them playing school, house, or with their dolls than sitting with a hand-held game or with earphones on. So after a lot of thinking and talking, it was a fun surprise to give Avery the "okay" to make this first big purchase.
Last night I helped her download all of her favorite songs from HighPoint, as well as Pure NrG and her other favorite CD's. She has been singing all day, and is being so sweet about letting Ella listen in and share.

I can't even tell you how many times I've heard this phrase in the past 24 hours: "Mom, I feel like such a big girl now!" Note to self: She will always be my precious little girl!
