Fun With Learning

Classic "Ava say cheese!" photo:
Then I yell, "Open your eyes!!"
Ava is really into letters right now.
We just got some alphabet flash cards and she is getting
pretty good. I love them, they really jump-started
her interest in learning about letters.

She has also started using her laptop which I got her
a million years ago, at the time it was way above her s
kill level but now it works out pretty nicely.
Her Spider Man laptop (Craig's List, $5) asks her questions like
"find the letter Q" It also does many more advanced levels
but this is the one we are focusing on for now.

"You got it!"
And of course learning makes her want to dance.



She loves wearing her tutu.
And in other exciting news tomorrow we are heading to Spokane to visit John's parents.
They are two of our favorite people.
They raised my husband to be the wonderful man he is today.
For that I am forever grateful.

They are also wonderful gardeners, something else my husband picked up from them.
Here, see for yourself, this is just a small piece of their beautiful backyard:

Love those tutu pics...girls rock! :) Aubrey is full on walking now, so I guess I should get her some dancing clothes, huh? Sure hope you have a great visit in Spokane...I'll try to get on a computer in less than a month to see updates. I swear computer time is SO hard to find these days. If I didn't have my iphone to access fb and twitter I'd be lost! :)

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...
