Ava's Thursday

Ava's day started out great.  It was another cold morning in Middle Tennessee so we bundled up to go outside and Ava wanted to wear her sunglasses.  She then walked around like the Miss Priss that she is.

My day went well and an hour before leaving from work, I received a voice message from Ava's school that she had fallen in the gym and that they had given her a boo boo bunny and she was getting loved on by Miss Kate to make her feel better.  I did not think much of it as they always call when she falls or gets a scratch which I greatly appreciate but it is never a big boo boo.  

As I walked into the school's gym, Miss Kate stopped me to ask if I had been notified of Ava's accident and at that time Ava came running up to me and I almost broke down after looking at her sweet face.  She has a quarter size bump right under her eye which is red, blue, and purple and it is swollen enough that it is making her eye shut.  Ava showed me her boo boo and said it hurt but otherwise she was in really good spirits about it.  I did want any good mother would do and took her to Cheesecake Factory to pick out a treat and then I let her eat some of it when we got home before dinner.

Luckily there is some good news from today and that is Ava used the potty at school for the first time!  Not only did she use it, she went three times which I am so proud of.  This week she has taken a lot of interest at home with the potty and went twice on Monday night and then once every night since.  Since we have not been pushing the issue, Ava has really started to potty train herself.  I am going to purchase her pull ups and panties this weekend as I now know she is ready for full on potty training.  I am so proud of my little girl.

One last picture I had to include.  Britt's bassinet arrived tonight and Ava was so excited and had to play in it.  I am now 16 days away from my due date and while I have not reached my extremely uncomfortable this baby better come out now moment, I am getting to it!
