Ava and Her Most Recent Funnies

Today Ava was so frustrated with the dress code.  She said, "mom, I have NOTHING in my closet to wear."  I told her that she did in fact have quite a few things and she said, "well, I have a lot that I can't wear this year cause of that stupid dress code thing, but I will wear it next year. . . wait, when does this dress code end?"  I had to was inform her, as she was getting more frustrated, that in fact she would have this dress code throughout her school career. :(  Then she went on and said she would wear a dress today.  After trying on her third dress, she says, "mom, as I was looking in the mirror, I look like I am wearing a MOM dress."  (ummm, what is a mom dress?)  SO I asked why and she said because it was too long and she was too skinny for it.  I admit it is a bit baggy on her, and so I knew what she meant.  Then we spent the next few minutes looking for a sash or belt she could wear with the dress.  Once we put it on, she again stood in front of the mirror and she exclaims. . ."wow!!! That changed my whole outfit!"  hahahaha.  She is becoming so grown up.  Then she put a head band with a huge matching flower on and waltzed out to see what her daddy thought. :) Even as a grown up girl she cares what her daddy thinks, that makes me smile.

We also recently, about two months ago, had two little baby girls come to stay with us for awhile.  They are very sweet and cute and the 17 month old adores her big sister "AYA".  However, between the two girls, their is someone always loudly screaming in our home.  Finally, about a week ago, I was changing one of the girls diapers as she screamed at me and the other one was out in the living room screaming.  Ava looks at me and says, "mom can we send them back and get Johnny back, he was much quieter."  This made her daddy and I both laugh since he was NOT any quieter.  He made as much noise as these two combined.  Her and her Johnny.  He was her heart!

Ava had a little boy picking on her on the bus everyday, so we finally asked the bus driver to move him or her.  He said he wasn't surprised because he had already had to move the kid numerous times this year.  So, now Ava feels one of the girls that sits with her on the bus is too bossy, so she asked to be moved or have her moved.  We had to sit her down and talk to her about how she can't keep doing that or she will make the bus driver frustrated.  :)  She is funny though.  She really wants to be moved to seat 7 because there is a certain little boy on that seat that has a major crush on her and he always tells her he likes or sometimes even that he loves her. :)  She admitted she has a little crush on him too, but she is not going to tell him.  GOOD GIRL!
