Terrible Twos have arrived!

After trying to put Ava to sleep three times today for her afternoon nap, this is what happened at 5pm. This power struggle appears many times throughout the day. Everything from putting a shirt on to eating lunch becomes a battle. But she is so cute, isn't she?

Ava's new favorite book...

Hello Autumn!

We finally had a nice, cool autumn day in Tucson today. The high was only 82 degrees! Ava and Grant had a great time playing outside while we did a bit of yardwork.

Now, you know I was going to go there eventually....

Everyone poos, including Ava. Now, in the toilet! Congratulations! Next feat: putting socks on!
