A Christmas Party

This evening Ava and I went to a Christmas party.
It was a football/white elephant/cookie decorating party.
Can you guess Ava's favorite part?
She was an expert cookie decorator. She must of sat
there for 3 hours decorating cookie after cookie.
She was shocked when she saw someone eat one.
"No, you can't eat these, they are just to decorate!"

Then she caught on that we could eat them,
so I had to set a limit : )
There were cute babies everywhere!
Here is Lilee-Belle
Sahara
and Brooke
Ava was the oldest. Also the only kid old enough to
get knee deep in frosting and sprinkles.
I was shocked to find not one speck of frosting on
her dress when we got home! Very impressive!
Ava also basically won the white elephant gift exchange,
she selected the much coveted Star Bucks gift card.
I told her to just cry if anyone tried to take it from her.
Everyone wanted to, no one dared : )

Jason and his sweet daughter Lilee all crashed out.
We had a great time at the party. Chris & D'Auna
have the nicest friends. Here they are walking out with
us, where Ava impressed them with her counting skills
as she counted each step they walked down.
Well, impressed them until she skipped the number 7
over and over. Then for some reason she got stuck on 17
like a broken record. Good thing she can hold on to that
whole being two excuse for a few more weeks... : )

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...
