Sunday Fun Day

My House

This is the last Christmas gift we had to put together. Ava was so excited. She kept saying "My House". She even wanted us to get in. Teddy and I got in but it was a tight fit. Daddy was to big so he just knocked on her door.

Bedtime

Bedtime has got a little interesting with Ava. She has a few items she likes to take to bed with her. Some days it's one or two. Others it is all of them.

List of "must haves":
Book- wheels on the bus
Pillow pet
Little kitty cat
Big kitty cat
Purple dinosaur
Green dinosaur
Big purple brush
Little pink brush
Yellow school bus
Yellow car
A huge (like the size of her) stuffed cow

So somedays I go in there after she is asleep and take things out.

Mama is 31

Ryan and I spent an extended weekend at L'auberge in Lake Charles to celebrate my 31st birthday. It's the perfect distance to get away and relax.

Ava on the other hand had a great time at Mimi and Gramps. She was not only spoiled by my parents but her Nina and Niño (godparents) picked her up Saturday evening. They went to build a bear (Ava actually built a kitty) and out to dinner.

It was Mimi's 52 birthday, but Ava thought everyone was singing Happy Birthday to her.

..and the other children enjoyed their stay too!

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!!
