zonked out on the way home from "Dora Live"
Ava and her best friend Naffi showing off their souvenirs
Nothing fun about two pre-schoolers in NYC in the rain...with umbrellas
All excited on the way to the show
Ava at the Habitat for Humanity Walk....
Asleep 15 minutes into the walk....
It was way too hot for this walk but it was a good cause!
She surprisingly stayed in her stroller a lot longer than usual!
This is Ava who took the stage at a local restaurant--dancing all by herself!
Ava in her Easter Dress...look at her dimples which have appeared since her cheeks have gone down some
My little Diva wearing my lipstick which she applied by herself quite neatly I might add!
Little Miss Hollywood
Ava and her light up fairy wings which comes with a microphone...she likes to entertain
This is the "I am going to do something bad" look
She insisted we were going to buy this dress--I am sure it was because of the tutu
Things are hopping around our home lately! We saw Dora Live in NY and Ava loved it. Her daycare provider wanted to bring her so we all went...it was fun. My poor little bean has been sick for over 4 weeks. First it was an ear infection and pink eye in both eyes. Then one night we ended up in the ER because she couldn't breathe, stuff was blocking her ability to get air in! Scary evening that I do not want to relive. Now she has been coughing so hard in her sleep that she vomits so I'm constantly worried she will choke again. We went back to the doctor who said she has another ear infection and gave her stronger meds and something to keep her asleep. I have felt so bad for her--she lost 3 lbs. but it gaining it back.Easter was nice and she looked so cute. I don't have more than one picture though because I got a new fancy Nikon and blogger will not accept the pictures! Anyone know how to fix this?
We went to the prom on Friday and Ava boogied on down with the big kids. I'll post pix later. Last weekend we were out at a restaurant where the kids play in this giant sand area and the parents can actually talk and eat. Well at one point I couldn't find her--heart attack moment-yet I knew she could not escape or get by me. So I start to walk around only to find Ava on the stage dancing in front of a lot of people all by herself happy as can be. The woman next to me said "Brittney Spears is nervous". She is such a performer. Lately she sings into the mirror making up dance routines that she teaches me. I apparently never do it right! LOL.
Ava is getting so big. She talks in real sentences and makes sense! It's amazing. I have to say that 2 is my favorite age so far. She continues to be my snuggly bug. She constantly offers words of wisdom like "mommy, don't put poopies in your mouth". Yikes! She will tell me to be careful when I am going to work, it's so cute. She hugs me and says "your my best friend mommy"...that is until she gets to her peers and then I get bumped out of first position. She was sitting in her car seat this morning watching the wiggles and she said to me "mommy I need to get out, I cannot shake my hips when I sit". LOL. At almost two years since her homecoming there are still those emotional moments that take me by surprise that she is actually here and is my child. I am so lucky to have her in my life.
I'm going out of town to Washington D.C. for a couple of days. I hope she is well when I'm away! Not that I am much good--I absolutely panic when I think she is in true distress!
