Just Playing

Ava was totally spoiled yesterday,
in the fun way, where she gets everything 
that makes her happy and she actually 
really appreciates it, love that.

First off she got some new books, one came with drumsticks
she shared those with Norah (we didn't even show her how
to hold them, she just picked them up and started drumming away:


 Since costume season is upon us I found some good
extras on Craig's List for dress up clothes, they don't 
fit yet but they do make for big smiles!



 Ava was in heaven, she loves princess dresses right now.



 Norah got a new picnic basket that Ava has totally taken over.
 Remember George?  He got in on this little picnic too.
We have been dragging toys down out of the attic lately 
that Ava had when she was a baby, it is so fun watching
her play with them now.  It is a whole different kind of 
play that comes with having an imagination rather then
just the physical ability to push buttons.

The next step is getting Ava to let Norah actually play 
with the toys too, but these things take time.

For now Ava takes everything from Norah but at least
replaces it with some other random toy to placate her.

I wonder how long Norah will let her get away with that??

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
