This afternoon Ava was in her room for a while playing. She kept coming out to ask me the names of several books. Then she'd go back into her room and "read" the books. I went in to check on her and found her friends all lined up with books in front of them.

She was reading to her "Friends", and told them to say cheese when I took the picture. Of course, she wouldn't get in the picture with them.

Big Steps

We've managed to transition to diaper free naps! Just need to work on dry nights too! One step at a time!

Ava had the sprinkler yesterday and was pretending that it was a gun, shooting the cars that went by the house. No matter how protected we think our kids are, they always seem to learn the things that we wish they didn't know! How in the world she knows about shooting guns, I don't know. I assume she learned it from her friends at school!

Took her to get new shoes today... she was so excited she wouldn't take them off.

Big step... she went into her room, put on her jammies, and told me she was ready to go to bed... without being asked. (I'm sure that won't happen again for a long time!)
