Ava @ 5 1/2 years

My beautiful Ava will be 5 1/2 years old on the 24th of this month, seems crazy!

Yes, she is the size of an 8 year old and wears size 7/8 clothes and size 13/1 shoes, it's nuts.  She always gets asked what grade she is in, ummm, still Preschool people.  But this Fall she enters Kindergarten.  A whole new world begins for us! 

 About Ava:
-Loves music, especially songs on the radio.  She is in LOVE with Justin Bieber (makes me gag!).  Thank Preschool girls for that one!  But she watches the Disney music videos that come on our Roku device and loves all the Pop music on there.  Loves "Radioactive" by Imagine Dragons, which I like alot too.  She is like her Mommy, we love our music!
-Goes to Dance class, which does tumbling, ballet & tap once a week.  Though lately she says she wants to stop and go to Karate.  But she's so dang cute when she is in class and follows the teacher really well.  She has a recital in June, then we'll see if she still wants to do it in the Fall. 
-Goes to a Preschool/Dayschool the 3 days a week I work.  In the morning she doesn't want to go, but always comes home happy and talking about what she did with her friends.  Also reports to me how many time outs she recieved (had a bit of a listening problem this past Fall).
-Loves to jump on the trampoline and sing to the neighborhood!  :) 
-Loves boys!  We are in trouble!  A couple older boys at her dayschool are simply called "the cute boys" by her and her friends.  Or if we see a boy at a store or wherever, she'll let me know if he's cute.  She still has her heart set on marrying Justin Bieber, even if I tell her he's not good enough for her! 

-Not always the sweetest to her little sis, likes to push or kick her aside. But every time they get on the trampoline they are like best friends! She does have her sweet moments when she'll help Mya on the computer or help her get food when Mommy can't get her big pregnant self off the couch.
-She is so excited to meet her baby brother! She rubs my tummy and gives it hugs. She comes up with new names for him all the time, it was going to be Justin Bieber Harry Frey for quite awhile. Now she is coming up with more practical ones.
-Ava is a TV/remote hog! She would sit and watch Netflix all day long if I let her. I need to be better at restricting the amount of time she does watch though.
-She LOVES to color! She comes home with a stack of coloring pages everyday from Dayschool and is always coloring us pictures at home.
-We are still working on reading and doing Phonics with her occasionally. She loves to write notes to her cousin Kiera and friends.
-Daddy is trying to get her on her bike more, after a few bad falls last year (even with training wheels on), she hasn't wanted to ride it.  But in the past week they've been out for 3 good rides and she's loved it. 

Ava is a sweet girl, when she wants to be.  The attitude has gotten alot better in the last few months.  Don't get me wrong, she is still very Sassy!  But she is alot of fun and it's been exciting seeing her learn new things.  We do love our Ava very much!
