Here's Hillary:









Ava has been on a roll lately! She has been saying so many funny things! Like tonight, I asked her where her Daddy was, (not realizing he was just in the other room) and she said,"He's outside, working on my rollercoaster." Where does it come from?
I think I have mentioned before how we have been trying to teach Ava the concept of "obeying". I think this is a very heavily taught subject in her Sunday School class right now too, because every week she comes home with a paper about "obeying"! Well, the other day, she had been being pretty bad, and getting into lots of trouble, so I was holding her and making her look me in the eye while I went over once again, who the "bosses" are and who are not the bosses. Then I made her repeat it back to me. I said sternly, "Now, who are the bosses?" and she said in a teary voice, "Daddy and Mommy." I said, "Who are NOT the bosses?" and she said, "Maddie Kate and Ava and Cohen." and I said, "That's right." Then she said, "And not the dogs." I almost lost it! So I sent her on her way and looked up at Johnny who had been watching, and he made a sad face and said, "Not the dogs!" We laughed forever! That's the problem with her, she's so funny, that even when she is in enormous trouble and you are so upset with her, she makes you laugh, and it's hard to punish her!

Hahahaha! Ava is so funny...I love reading your blogs about her. She reminds me of my little Katie...is it the 2nd child syndrome or something? She definitely thinks "she's the boss" and even gets on to Tyler when he's in trouble! So funny, I'm glad I'm not the only one dealing with a princess!
