Mommy Daughter Outings

It is usually not too difficult keeping little Av entertained when we go out.  I'm always trying to think of fun mommy daughter things to do each day.  As the weather gets worse, this will be much more difficult, seeing as how we can scratch park off the list of fun things to do.  Avril LOVES the park.  We have learned to spell the word p-a-r-k instead of saying it around her... or ELSE... she'll throw a fit insisting that you take her to the slide and swings.
Yesterday mommy wanted to browse through TJ Maxx to see if they had any decorations for the bathroom we recently painted.  No luck there... however... Avril sure was one happy camper.  She found the coolest little chair and absolutely would not leave.  She would find little "treasures" around the store, like the blanket she's holding, and bring them back to the chair with her.  The employees there couldn't get over how cute Avril was in her chair.  When it was time to leave the store, they asked me how I was finally able to get her to leave her chair.  I'm not sure how, I'm sure it was some method of distraction I used.  Dada said maybe we should get her a chair like this for Christmas.  We'll see...

This is the life...
Besides chairs, Avril also LOVES books.  One of her very favorite things to do is to sit in your lap while you read to her.  In fact, she will NOT go to sleep unless you read her books to her before you put her down.  This is the routine and she doesn't stray from that.  Mommy likes to take Avril to the library so we can find new books, instead of the same old ones.  When Avril goes to the library, besides pulling books off shelves, her favorite thing to do is to take mommy's keys and try to open the display cabinets.  Whenever she sees a lock on something she feels it is her duty to unlock it.
Hi Mommy.  I think your keys are broken.  I can't seem to get this cabinet open.
