Me: Y'know, you two are very different, but...
Miles: I KNOW we're different. Avery could hit a ball over the house when he was three. And I don't even think I could hit one over the house NOW?!
Me: Yeee-ah. That's probably right, Miles. Avery's always been into...
Avery: Sports!
Me: Yep. Never did like art or drawing. All little kids make scribbles when they are little, but a lot of kids would show you their scribble and say, "Look, it's me 'n Gramps at McDonalds." But, when I asked Avery to tell me about his picture, he just looked at it and said, "I know don't know...lines and dots."
Avery laughs, amazed at his candor: Really??
Me: Yes, really.

That is one of the sweetest things I've read in a long time! I'm serious!

Me 'n Gramps at McDonalds, huh? Descriptive.
I can't wait until Sam's old enough to have funny, endearing conversations like that. Good times.
I love your stories about Avery and Miles, Jenna. I almost feel like I know them a bit!
Maybe I will meet them someday...:)
