Avery (aka, Crystal) Holland

Do you notice anything odd about the picture below?  No  - I'm not referring to the fact that Alex is now over the age of 2 and still using a sippy cup that is essentially a bottle.  Oh, and the fact that it is pink.

I'm actually referring to the fact that Avery clearly has no clothes on and the other two do.You may be wondering why this is?  Well, Avery has decided that she needs to learn how to climb the pole on the swing set, because, of course, Caitlin can climb one at daycare and heaven forbid let one of our friends out-play her!  So, being the smart girl that she is, she realized very quickly that her skin will cause more friction than her clothes, allowing her to climb up the pole that much easier.  So, now, every time she tries to climb the pole?  She strips down.  Call me crazy, but you can't tell me you wouldn't be a bit concerned if your daughter were stripping down and climbing poles at the age of 4.  Oh - and, yes, the discussion has already been held - she will NOT be taking off her clothes anywhere but home to do this!  And, no - we will NOT be sharing this particular past time of hers with her teachers at her new school.  I'm thinking this would not go over well at a Catholic grammar school.
