Ava & Mommy Date


Yesterday, Ava had a half day, and Norah had preschool until 3, this left several hours for Ava & I to enjoy, just the two of us! 

She made a list of all the fun things we should do & could hardly wait for school to end.

I love how much she looks forward to these little things we try to make special for her. It's really sweet. 



First we hit up Red Robin for lunch, that wasn't my first choice, or even my second. The first two places were closed that we tried, Newport Bay went out of business & Old Spaghetti Factory apparently doesn't do lunch anymore, weird.  But we just rolled with the punches & went with it, Ava loves Red Robin anyway. 

After lunch we headed over to the Dollar Tree for Ava to spend her own dollar, she was super excited to be able to pick anything she wanted in the whole store!  Oh the little things in life! 

Next we went to the pet store to visit all the animals. 


She loved this little parrot & almost got to hold him, he was a little scared of her though...
Next we headed back home to grab our bikes and head out on an adventure to go get frozen yogurt, but wouldn't you know, the place was closed, it had also gone out of business. What is happening to all these places?  We ended up at a little diner and shared an Oreo cookie milkshake, it was perfect.



That's my "did I really just eat that" look. 

Next we rode our bikes over to Norah's school and pick her up with the bike trailer. She was thrilled!

We rounded out the day with the girls "helping" me with my bible study homework, such a fun day! 

Love these sweet, happy girls! They are such a blessing to us!!

Adventures in Potty Training...

Image
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...
