Michael is a smart, precocious, and adorable toddler with a big heart and a playful spirit. He loves his mom, loves crackers, and has a sharp sense of humor for his age. Though he may be shy at first, he warms up quickly — especially if there are snacks or toys involved. Energetic and curious, Michael is quick to laugh, eager to play, and always ready to charm.
Avery is an imaginative, sweet-natured girl with a curious mind and a twinkle in her eye. She’s clever, funny in her own quiet way, and deeply observant — always taking in more than she lets on. She adores her mom, has a soft spot for animals (real or stuffed), and could snack on fruit all day if allowed. Avery might cling close at first, but once she feels safe, her playful, goofy side shines. She loves storytelling, dress-up, and turning the ordinary into adventure.
