Incohesive Drivel

• I asked Ava what animals she wanted to see at the zoo tomorrow.  Her response?  Angels and Cinderella
• Is everyone familiar with our spooky fur real kitty?  It's a stuffed animal cat that can purr, lick its fur, blink and roll to its side.  Well, Dawson is smitten with it.  Everytime he sees it he goes crazy flapping his arms, smiling, and generally trying to eat it.  Pretty funny to watch. 
• Carter is becoming too smart for his own good.  Today I told him that he had lost television and his after dinner treat for being disrespectful.  Fast forward to dinner time, he asked me "What's for dinner?"  I responded with "chicken."  He started to whine about how he dosen't want chicken every day.  Mike told him not to worry, because we had pork chops the previous night and spaghetti the night before that.  In fact, chicken is a special treat!  Carter looked at me and said "But Mommy I'm not allowed to have treats tonight."  Not even four and already turning my words against me.
• Ava is becoming quite the little conversationalist.  At dinner she looked at us and said "Nice day today, not raining."  It was so funny to hear her strike up a conversation with us about the weather.
• It has been wonderful to see Ava becoming such a little Mommy's girl.  Carter has always preferred his Daddy, and for awhile Ava did too.  But for whatever reason that has drastically changed, and now she asks for me when she is upset or sad.
• Luckily we are all on the upswing, Carter's spots are gone and nobody else has broken out. 
• Ava is doing really good with potty training.  While we were on vacation in Gettysburg she woke up one morning, asked to go to the restroom and refused to put a diaper back on.  I hadn't packed any underpants for her, so I put her in a pair of Carter's for the day.  She didn't have a single accident that day, so I bought some pull ups and just went with it.  Since we got back she has not been in a diaper a single day!  While she has had some accidents, they are getting fewer and further in between.  I can't believe it was this easy with her!

So those are some of the little moments in our life lately.
