Ava started a new class on Monday. She moved up to the Squirrel classroom. She sits in toddler chairs, they learn to potty train, they have sinks their size in their classroom and its big for them to run around in.
She was in class Monday and Tuesday.
(Tuesday I had a mid term...which I'm pretty sure I failed).
Wednesday we were supposed to go to San Diego. Tuesday night I freaked out. Ava had a runny nose, it was supposed to rain, I was so nervous about driving in San Diego (because I haven't done it since 2004), I was worried about leaving Phil because he hadn't been out of bed for 2 weeks.
Wednesday came, I only slept 2 hours. It was pouring rain. We all got ready. We loaded up the truck and took off for the airport. We couldn't even see the lines in the road. It was crazy. I kept telling myself it would be ok. We got to the airport and we turned around and went home.
While I'm really sad I didn't make it to San Diego. I think maybe I jumped in head first without really thinking. I didn't plan my trip very well. I wanted to see my cousin and her family. I wanted to see my neighbors and old friends. I really miss my California family.
I'm really glad I stayed home. While Phil still couldn't get out of bed. We had a fun time hanging out at the house. Phil got to see Ava and all her glory.
On Wednesday we started potty training. Ava did really well in the morning! Nap time she took off her diaper. In the afternoon, I got a little lazy, from lack of sleep, and we didn't work on it so much. Thursday same thing. While its still hit and miss with the potty (good thing for Pull Ups!) she is still working on it.
Ava asked to use the potty. We only really started working on it because we need to get Ava trained not to take off her diaper at night. Almost every morning and every nap we've had to change the bed because she decides she has to pee and won't in her diaper. Duct tape isn't working anymore. She can still wiggle her way loose.
Wednesday it snowed in the mountains.
Thursday it snowed some more. And in the morning we got a few flakes at our house.
Friday Ava and I took Grandpa to lunch.
Saturday we stayed home until I couldn't stand it anymore. We then went to check out a farm. It was pretty awesome.
Ava got to feed the goats. She loved the goats and chickens best. We saw Yak's and Cows, Llama's, and Pigs. It was pretty fun. Ava even got to see some "Courses" (aka Horses).
Today (Sunday) we got up, both Ava and I didn't feel so awesome so we were planning to go and cheer on the JDRF team.
We got there, there were so many people. Our team ended up being in the back of the line so we walked REALLY slow. I figured Ava loved being in her stroller and it wasn't a long walk last year so we went. Well...they changed the course. Instead of 1 mile, it was 3! Wow!
After the big walk, JDRF served lunch. We stayed for lunch. It was nice. I liked visiting with everyone. Ava got to meet a pirate. And all afternoon she was saying "YAARRRR". LOL
I hope this help find a cure for diabetes!
Ava had fun too. She got a little tired of sitting in the stroller for so long. But she had fun hanging out.
On a side note. After two weeks of calling Phil's Doctors office, we finally got a call back on Friday! After three weeks in bed, we have an emergency appointment on Monday with his GI. We also got an appointment with his Ears, Nose and Throat doctor for Thursday because after his allergic reaction to the only medicine that would make him better, his nasal polyps are so enlarged he can't breath through his nose at all. After using the medicine for his nose, he can no longer hear out of one of his ears. Its been a fun week for us all. Oh, did I mention that if he stands up longer than 20 minutes he turns white? Yeah...its been a fun week.
But we've enjoyed hanging out with him because he really doesn't complain much. I feel bad because I'm doing all that I know how to do, which is make appointments.
