Visiting Grandpa

Grandpa is hanging in there. He has fallen too many times
so he is not getting around very well anymore but he is almost
always up for a visit. It makes him so happy when we all
come to see him.

Jessica took this picture, she says "You are so cute Grandpa!"
He says, "I used to be much cuter!" he is so funny.

Ava talked him into a ride, he loves that girl.
They are pretty cute together.
She is always hitting him up for chocolate when we
go over, kind of reminds me when I was a kid...
He used to count us out 10 M&M's a piece.

We had a nice lunch, Grandpa, Mom, Jessica, Ava & I.
It is fun to all get to hang out together!
It doesn't just brighten up Grandpa's day,
it brightens up ours too!

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
