Better late than never
I guess I never got around to part two from our San Diego venture.
I will still have to get to that.
April was a crazy month. Absolutely crazy.
April 1st we started remodeling our home. The first week the furniture was moved, everything went to the center of the rooms. The moulding was removed. Then the moulding upstairs was put up.
We were slightly uncomfortable.
Second week: Painting. We moved into a hotel. Our house, well, all I can say is that with a almost 3 year old running around, it was panic stricken for us parents.
Third week: Floors. We continued our stay in hotels, we hotel hopped a bit.
Fourth week: Floors. Took longer than projected. Which was a little irritating to me, but the final outcome was totally worth it! Our house looks amazing. We didn't have to do the hard stuff. And we get to enjoy our amazing house.
Ava did really well. She had a couple of meltdowns, she didn't really understand what was going on.
Two of the weeks Ava was home with us because she was sick and couldn't go to school.
A couple of things/changes with Ava in April-
She loves swimming. If you remember my blog from last June or July you'll remember it took about 3 swim classes just to get her to stay in the pool!
Ava didn't want to get out, had no problem jumping off the side of the pool and kept asking to do "Dumpty Dumpty" (going under the water).
Ava weighs in at 23 lbs.
During April we failed, as parents, to read her books. Our bad.
Her favorite song was "Bringing home a baby bumble bee".
Her favorite book this month is "The very hungry caterpillar"
Favorite song is "Baby dinosaur"
Favorite friend "Addison"
She gets things, but it takes a few days.
Uncle Andrew came over on his birthday, and Phil and I tried to get Ava to sing her Happy Birthday song for Andrew, but she failed.
Last night (May 5th, 4 days after Andrews birthday), she looks at Uncle Andrew's picture on her board and says "Happy Birthday Andrew".
Ava likes to try and "read" "Baby Bear Baby Bear"
Ava's favorite food is fruit. She likes watermelon, strawberries and blueberries. We found out she is not a huge fan of raspberries, or blackberries. She will not drink Almond milk over Ensure. She likes Ensure much better.
Ava is getting so much better at speaking and talking.
She knows how things work, and if you do one thing, something else happens.
One example: The other day I was getting Ava ready for school. She was doing fine then all of the sudden she started acting up. She stopped, looked at me, got scared and said "don't go get daddy". Ha ha! She knows! She knows if she acts up, I call daddy, he comes up and gives her a good talkin' to.
