Yes, we're celebrating another half birthday. My little
ava is two and a half today. Growing up and becoming her own independent self.
As I type she is avoiding her nap. She usual has many excuses at bed time to leave her room. Today was poop in her pull up, potty in her pull up, showing me she changed into jammies and a few other visits to mom. Finally I locked the door. Now she's sleeping.
She's a sweet little girl who wakes up on the wrong side of the bed most days. Yes she's grouchy in the morning and wants to cuddle mommy when she awakes. You better not be lying in her spot or your might get an earful.
After she sweetens up breakfast is in high demand. Ava loves oatmeal, a variety of cereal and waffles. She has become quite independent and enjoys (demands) dressing herself. No panties yet. She insists (totally freaks out) on having the pull up with Ariel on it. We bought Ariel panties and she loves them but does not want to sit on the potty. She knows when she has to go and changes her own pull up but screams if you take her to the toilet. So much for potty training.
My "
boylish" little girl has turned into a little princess recently. She adores playing dress up and
barbie's with her sister. It's so funny to watch her copy everything she does. She registered for preschool today. She is excited to go to her own school next year. She knows her
abc's, can count to almost 20, and loves to sing songs on the radio and her favorite kid
cd's.
We went to the firefighter chili cook off yesterday. Here are a few shots of the girls having a good time.

So serious getting her face painted.
Showing off her beautiful cheek that she never wants to wash again.

Lily was impressed with the bagpipes.
