AJ3's such a nice quiet kid. AJ3's definitely the calmest of our Avocado Jnrs. Unlike his crazy sister and brother, AJ3 just sits around all day...
...eating...
...drinking...
...calling friends...
...playing...
...and generally looking cute...
Maybe, just maybe, Mater and Pater spoke too soon. Way too soon. Way, way, way, wwwwaaaayyy too soon. Oh woe to the parents who spit in the eye of the Devil! Because who else to blame if not Lucifer? Who else but Beezlebub taught you to crawl like a fearless maniac???
Who else but the Prince of Darkness amped your vocals five-fold?
Who else but Satan got behind you and helped you pull yourself up????
AJ3, when Grandma Toronto heard Mater and Pater calling you The Devil's Spawn (and worse), she was shocked and dismayed. Nothing more than a growing boy, she claimed. Ah, look how cute he is, she assured. You're bad parents for claiming him as Hell Sent, she muttered. As an Irishman once said, la plus belle des ruses du diable est de vous persuader qu'il n'existe pas. Because who else to blame for this?
Or this?
Mea culpa, AJ3, Pater will admit (because Mater is insisting) that he may josh around with you a little....
...but that can't be the cause of your rambunctious recklessness. Can it? Well at least you're only crawling and pulling yourself up. We have months until you start walking...
So, AJ3, Pater was researching the best method to growing the optimum Avocado Junior. Yes, AJ1 and AJ2 are fine specimens, but they both grew during the spring and summer months before being born in the autumn. You, AJ3, have gone through a winter like this...
So Pater did some research and apparently, Mexico's rich volcanic soil, abundant sunshine and timely rainfall all provide the perfect climate for producing fine avocados. So, leaving AJ1 and AJ2 in the safe and caring hands of Grandma Toronto, that's where Pater took Mater for a week of luxury, sun and rich volcanic soil...
You immediately thrived. Or rather, Mater thrived whether on the sandy beaches, in the child-free pool or dressed up to the nines...
Pater, meanwhile, hung out with the natives...
We event learnt some Mexican. Mater now knows how to ask for "una bebida no alcoholica", while Pater knows how to ask for "una bebida con alcohol adicional"...
If our amazing week in Playa Del Carmen is anything to go by, AJ3...
...we have high hopes for another healthy, happy, crazy, loving Avocado Junior. Not unlike the ones we already have...
