May 2008:
Do the Monkey..Oh-Ah-Oh-Oh-Ah.
OK, so we totally have a full on kid who watches TV, more specifically the Wiggles. The annoying Aussies that sing/dance in bright color shirts and have a gaggle of interesting characters that are back up dancers… It's almost condescending how hyper these men are. Now, Ava didn’t discover this alone, oh no. Her parents flip it on one morning... and like magic, it captivates her for as least 30 minutes with out a single movement or peep! Pure genius if we do say so… however the downside is that she wants to watch the Wiggles… All. The. Time. And while it’s nice to get things done around the house while our toddler is nice and still... it’s another thing knowing that we ultimately are developing an uber bad habit. Wiggles today… Next thing you know she’ll be posted on the couch zoned out watching A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila marathon.
I guess we’ll deal with that in a few years…
Besides being the queen of TV, Ava has managed to grow her molars, learned to run, says “YES” and started being very discriminating with her pallet. She is turning in to a micro control freak since she insists on doing everything her self; from changing her shirt, putting on her shoes to feeding herself and everything in-between. The one thing Ava is not controlling is her temper, but it seems that her classmates are checking that for her, as she has received her first bite-right on her face, left a bruise and everything. Now she shares. And just so you know.. the other kid got into BIG trouble.
In sum, as our pediatrician stated, “Ava is in the terrible two’s stage now”. Come on over sometime to watch her in action or watch the Wiggles.. either way you’ll be entertained.
Let’s see.. where do we start?
Since our last update, we hopped an extreme Vegas flight to celebrate Lisa and LeQuan’s Wedding with the family, tried our best to party like rock stars, and pull a 36-hour-er... but. no. didn’t happen. After recovering from Vegas-yes it took a week-We finally got to see Kev in action feeding the sharks at the SF aquarium. If you have not got to see his ‘show’ please do; it’s entertaining and educational. We were very fortunate that Lola/Lolo took Ava to Disneyland with the RCP crew during Spring Break. Finding out that Ava was having so much fun, we hopped in the car and joined them for the day... it was the best day ever! After DLand we all went over to the gibbeadles where we were treated to a 600 course meal all freshly prepared by Lauren! She knocked herself out with all kinds of great things, including fried mac and cheese made from scratch! We can’t wait for them to move back to norcal this summer!
As for everything else, Ron is finishing up his first year of Law school and is unscathed from the daunting L1 tourture. He’s excited to have some minimal time off in the Summer and will keep chugging along in July. Deanne will be starting a doctorate of educational administration program this Summer, and yes, she too finds it quite humorous that they actually are admitting her. She wanted her advisor to sign off on a ten year plan, but he insists that it can get done in a couple years… So, needless to say, our household is all about the reading, writing, regurgitating... and wiggles.
