Jumping, it is where it's at.

We went up to my Mom's house yesterday to get a pumpkin.
She also gave us a whole bowl full of gourds.
That is about the extent of my holiday decorating, at
least when it comes to Halloween...
My mother's yard is filled with beautiful flowers & trees
so I made Ava pose for me.
She is pretty used to that, however she is starting to
look too posed if you know what I mean.
So pretty...
We went on a frog hunt and found no frogs but we
did find the trampoline...
This girl loves to jump
She even loves to fall.
But jumping takes the cake.
It was fun watching her jump, it reminded me how we
used to take her up there when she was a baby.
She would just crawl around and bounce when
she held our hands, now she is solo and DANGEROUS!!
My mom and I stood on the side lines yelling for her to
stay in the middle, over and over, and over, all
the while being ready to catch her if it came to that.
Super staticy hair
The only way she would get off the trampoline was if
Grandma would jump next. Ava stood on the sidelines
and coached Grandma on staying in the middle
and being careful. What comes around goes around : )

Adventures in Potty Training...

I began potty training Ava right around the time she turned one. I broke out the potty and began encouraging away. She faked interest in the beginning but soon it became apparent that the child was a little hopeless, to say the least. Throughout the year that followed I realized that this strong willed child would need a little more time, as well as mom backing the heck off. Before she turned two I came across a blog a mom was writing who made a bold statement of parents simply being lazy if they aren't potty training their kids very quickly. I was so mad about when I read that but also felt like maybe she was right all at the same time. It motivated me to simply take away Ava's diapers and sort of force her into being ready. I spent the entire day encouraging her as she had accident after accident. She managed to pee in her potty about 4 times and everywhere else about 347 times. I was so stressed out, so was she. At one point she peed on the floor and looked up at me
