Dinosaurs

This week in Ava's science lab they are learning about Dinosaurs. I think she might be going through a little obsession with them. When I pick her up from school we walk by the science lab and she points to all the Dinosaurs and says, "Dinosaur Big" or "Roar" like a Dinosaur. Then, when we get home she wants to watch Dino Dan.
So looks like I'll be buying her some dinosaurs soon!!

Saturday night with my LOVE

Movie date!

Full week at school

We have made it a full week at school with no tears!! Ava is well adjusted and back to her normal little self at school. When Ryan drops her off in the morning, she is fine and goes with the flow. In the afternoon when I pick her up, I stand outside the class and watch her for a few minutes. She is definitely in her element now. She is laughing, loud and having a good time. Makes Ryan and I feel so much better.

Ice cream date with mom to top off the week!!

Bedtime Book

Lately we have been reading Ava's favorite book The Wheels on the Bus before bed time. She REALLY enjoys this book. We used to rotate books, but we are stuck on this one. She even wants me to read it over and over....and NOW she wants to take the book to bed with her. So I have let her a couple times.
Last night I put her to bed with her book and went to my room to turn on the monitor. While I was laying in bed I heard her talking. So I checked the monitor and she was sitting up in bed flipping through the pages and saying/singing "The Wheels on the Bus...Up and Down". Too stinking cute!! Ryan and I couldn't help but stare at the monitor watching our sweet baby girl.

Chores

Ava loves to help me around the house. She will help me with the laundry, unload the dish washer, fold clothes, sweep and now she vacuums. Now only if she'll start picking up after herself...

Love this cute litte vacuum Tito (uncle Gabe) bought her for Christmas. It makes noise and lights up.

Post Day 1 of school

Ryan picked her up from daycare yesterday. They told him she cried off and on through out the day (makes me so sad). And...today he dropped her off and she threw a fit. Ryan said she was holding tight to him and saying, "No Daddy". Makes my heart hurt.....

1st day at a New School

Today was Ava's 1st day at her new school. I wanted to take her to school. We both slept in a bit and had breakfast at home. I took her to school about 8. She thought she was big stuff  walking in on her own, but once we were in her class room she realized I was about to leave and grabbed ahold of my leg. I thought we were both going to cry, but we made it through the morning. Her new teacher Ms. Catherine took her just in time to distract her so I could sneak out.
So far I have been checking in on Ava through out the day and she seems to be settling in just fine. Whew....makes me feel so much better. Love having a daycare camera!! Best thing E-V-E-R created.
