Let it go...

Alternate titles considered:  Turns out money can buy happiness, Ava's best day ever, I never want to hear you say that you can't find a ladybug again...

Ava has always LOVED ladybugs.  Not such a huge fan of bugs in general, but for some reason the cheery little red shell with black dots changes the freaky bug factor for her.  

A little while back my mom mentioned to the girls that she saw some ladybugs that you could buy at the garden store.  Of course they begged her to bring them some, and she promised she would.  

Subsequently said ladybugs were mentioned about 5 times a day in the coming weeks, and an interrogation of grandma occurred whenever she arrived ladybug-less.   

But alas, they arrived...

 Wow!  So many!!!



 1500 lady bugs is a LOT of ladybugs!!  


 It was freaking me out a little, I could see them crawling up her shirt and all over her body.  She didn't seem to mind, although a few times she was convinced they were biting her.  That didn't make her want to stop holding them though! 

Audrey even got in on the action, Norah wanted nothing to do with this, aside from observing. 
Totally worth the wait!!

Ava is thrilled that she can just walk around the yard and see them everywhere!  So fun!

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...
