I'm not sure where it started. I think it was because I was
always calling her my snuggle bug.
Avery has always been my snuggler.
When she was a baby until well into her second year,
I would usually be found holding her, or rocking her, or
nursing her, or snuggling her.
Somewhere along the line snugglebug just became
Buggie.
Buggie always wants to be like her sisters.
She wants to go to school.
She wants to join the swim team.
She wants to play softball.
She wants to dress herself, shower herself and do her own hair.
Well, today she followed her big sister Claire's footsteps.
When Claire was 18 months old she chipped her right, front tooth.
Exactly 1 year later it abscessed and had to be pulled.
When Avery was 18 months old she chipped her right, front tooth.
Exactly 3 years later it abscessed and had to be pulled.
I will admit, I don't think I was any more prepared the second time around.
It broke my heart to watch Aves in pain, but she did great!
She was very brave, and very sweet.
We snuggled and watched Scooby Doo for an hour
and then she popped up and ran outside to play
kick the can with the neighbors.
Oh my, that Buggie!

I found this video from a long time ago and just had to share.
Oh Avery!
