No love for Daddy!

So as Ava is giving Mommy a great big hug Daddy tries to get in on the hug too, 
She pushes him away and says, "This is not a group hug!"

Is Jesus really a shepherd?

So as we are reading our Mommy and Me Bible before bedtime the other evening,
I read about Jesus being our shepherd and taking care of his sheep.
  Ava says, "Hey Little Bo Peep takes care of the sheep!!!"

What I want to be when I grow up.

When the AC repair man was installing our new air conditioner in the basement, Ava said she wanted to help  him.  I said why do want to help him? She replied, "I want to do that when I get big and be a snake and a clown so I can make people happy!"

So providing comfort and entertainment could make people happy but the snake part kind of baffles me!!!

Jesus made me!

So I say to Ava, "How'd you get so pretty?"
She says, " Cuz I did!"
I say, "Who made you so pretty?"
She replied, "Jesus did!"

You outta be in pictures!

So my 14 year old son's best friend says to Ava,
"You are so pretty Ava.  You look like you could be in a movie!"
Ava replies, "Well Mommy says I can't watch movies all day!"

Bossy britches!

Paul & I were having a heated discussion while Ava was coloring with him.
She comes walking toward me with her hands in the air & states emphatically
"Mommy ok, ok that's enough! You don't have to keep saying it over & over! 
Stop being ignorant (which she pronounces ignert) to Daddy.
 He's trying to color with me!"

Well she told me! 
Then I busted out laughing & she says, "Stop laughing!  It's not funny!"
Of course we had a little talk about how to talk to mommy.

Early bloomer!

So a package arives the other day from Grandma Jean
 with new clothes & a couple of swimsuits. 
Ava pulls out a bikini top & proudly tells her daddy
 "Look it's a bra for me!"
