In such a short period of time you have greatly improved not only the legibility of your writing, but also the ability in writing full sentences. I was super impressed and tried to motivate you to continue to write more. I would only have to spell out specific words one time like f-a-r-m-e-r and you would remember without asking again!
I can remember a long time ago before you were born catching a little girl sitting in a cart at Costco singing Disney tunes. It was so endearing and heartwarming that it made me hope that someday I could hear and share those types of moments with a child of my own. I cherish every single moment hearing you talk, play and sing.
Appreciate the moments and dont take anything for granted my dear Ava Amore. Family is not an important thing, it’s everything.
First year in a new neighborhood. You were a little disappointed because the last few years have always been with Gavin and other kids. We were in a bit of a scramble trying to figure out what to do but I think at the very least we found a decent neighborhood in Rossmoor. I’m happy we went and that you got to go house to house even if was for only a short amount of time. Looking back I feel that was why you were acting mopey and sad during our time at the Cypress Halloween Festival. You have a hard time communicating your frustration and feelings.. I guess just like daddy…
On this sad day, I realized you do not have proper representation for our favored teams. We represent LA… and Toronto 🙂 I have now been shopping for your new Jerseys so that this day will not happen again.
So while shopping at Target you spot the Keurig machines and randomly want to take a pic with them… Oooook. So i did.
So on this weekend your auntie Anne Marie and family came to visit all the way from Las Vegas to celebrate her 50th birthday!. We had a fun day at Laguna Beach playing in the sand and learning how to read and ride the waves.
Monday morning flag ceremony!
Couldn’t help but smile and laugh watching this video of you. I love experiencing all the new things you learn! Appreciating all the moments while you grow waaaay too fast!
I’m so proud of how brave you are handling your new school. Its been a good first couple of days and I hope you will enjoy your time here for the many years to come.
As I take a look at the picture you had to draw for your first assignment, I couldn’t help realize the detail. I like how its exactly like the outfit you were currently wearing. Down to the color scheme and flower print! 🙂
Mommy: I thought you were laying in bed and the flower print was your blanket!
I thought that this was super cute and love that your Mom made this for you. I know you can’t read yet but i’m sure you get the message. Hopefully this surprise will brighten your day and put a smile on your face.
Mommy FB Post: Night before kindergarten. Outfit and big girl backpack ready to go! So proud of my little girl! She’s come a long way from crying every day for weeks and weeks at her first few schools and now, as you can see from that big smile, she has grown that much more confident and ready for kinder!
This was your vacation before going back to school. I’m glad you were able to go and have fun in San Diego! You are such a doll and definitely know how to pose for the camera.
Back to Sea-world! But now with Mama this time. 🙂 You love the petting of sharks and the cleaner fish that nibble on your hands. Hope you had fun in SD this week!
I’m always super concerned when your hair needs to be cut. I love it long but there comes a time when it needs a cut. You seem to enjoy the hair cutting process and on this day you love the end result. You cant wait to do it all over again.
Ava forever my love..
