This is from the grandmother of Avery from beautiful Oxford, MS.
I was quite intrigued with this picture and
asked for an explanation.
“Today we talked about some things that Avery had learned to do that she had been scared to do. (Putting her head under water was big in her memory.) Then, she wanted a tea party, and I told her it was her idea so she needed to make it happen. She planned it all … set the table, made the ‘tea,’ but when it came to muffins, she had her ‘CAN’T’ moment. I used the line from the book, and with very little help, she baked the muffins. She was very proud of herself.”
“She invited her old pals, the Worm Brothers, because ‘they acted nice last time,” said JoJo (Avery’s grandmother.) (They are two of Avery’s grandmother’s father’s fake fish bait.) “She always invited her imaginary friend, Leo, to the parties in the past. But at this party, she told me, she was old enough to know he is ‘imaginary,’ but she still likes for him to come. So, he still had a seat at the table.”
they become totally engaged in a book?
