Flower girl Avery

Avery was the flower girl in my good friend Kerry's wedding, which was Saturday, March 27. I worried
Avery would not cooperate the day Kerry asked if Avery could be the flower girl...Avery is a very shy little girl and is also very head strong and stubborn- she got mine and Justin's bad qualities, so I was worried Avery wouldn't do what she was supposed to do.
The week of the wedding was my first week back to work after having Lawson, so needless to say it was a CRAZY week. We had rehearsal Friday night and I took both kids by myself- which was a mistake, but we made it through. Avery did not want to walk down the isle with the ring bearer, but we made it through with A LOT of bribing...I know I'm terrible to do that, but sometimes you just have to do it. I had talked up the flower girl job and let Avery watch mine and Justin's wedding video and look at our wedding pictures, but that didn't work- so Avery was going to be Avery.
 Saturday morning I took Avery to get her hair done and she did so good- she kept saying she looked like a princess...and she did. The temperature was pretty good that day, but my was it windy- so Avery wore a shower cap to protect her hair from the wind....and later the rain. Yes, it turned out to be a rainy mess.  I felt so bad for Kerry- isn't that every brides fear- to have it rain on their wedding day? But Kerry was a beautiful bride and Avery surprised shocked me, she cooperated!! Well, kind of I had to walk down the isle with her and throw petals down to get her to do it- she even reprimanded me in the middle of the isle, because I didn't do it right. I know we have our hands full, but I was so proud of Avery- she did a good job and looked so sweet as a flower girl.  Thank you, Kerry for letting Avery be part of your special day.

being shy...
