Happy Birthday Ava!! Ava turned 2 on the 23rd and we had a little get together for her with all of her cousins and girlfriends on the block! She had a great time as did her mommy! I swear it seems like she's been 2 forever though. She is so mature for her age! She is talking even more now, mostly in sentences. She also screams if you don't immedietely drop what you're doing and do whatever SHE WANTS!!! Her personality can be challenging but I love a good challenge and find myself thinking most of it is cute and funny! The problem is I don't think everyone else thinks it's funny and/or cute! lol!!
On the potty training front, things have gotten worse!! She now takes off her diaper EVERYTIME she pees or poops. The other day I walked in the family room and she was coloring with her poopy diaper off and poop still hangin (you get the idea)! She apparentley was too busy to stop what she was doing!! When you confront her on the subject she tells you matter of factly that "I want diaper off"! How can I argue with that?? So, I think by her choice we're in full force potty training mode. Oh, did I mention she's apparently fully potty trained at MiMi's and Poppys??? She rules the roost!!
We were also told at her recent pedetrician appt that it's time to get rid of the paci and he said with her personality it will be HELL for 5 days but that she should then forget about it! We have to come up with a plan of attack. I tried cold turkey as that's how I best get rid of things and it was indeed HELL!! She had the worst tantrum yet!! I gave in! We will now try the whole Paci Fairy thing, wish us luck! We're going to need it!
Ava's favorite things to say: "I wanna have that", "I wanna try that", "Exkuse me (softly), Exkuse me ( a lil louder) EXKUSE ME"(screaming) "Come on, Come on" as she's pulling my leg to show me that there are monsters in the front room and she's not afraid at all...she wants there to be monsters there!! LOL!
To know her is to LOVE her!! Truly :)
