Cousin Time

Adam left town last Thursday evening. He and several other guys went to a lake house in North Georgia and did a bunch of guys stuff…so Ava and I filled our weekend with a bunch of girl stuff. :)

Raeleigh and Shelby came over Friday evening to play. Ava adores Raeleigh and talks about her all the time. You have to keep a careful eye on Raeleigh because everything goes straight to her mouth. I was lucky and really didn’t have to worry about that with Ava, so her playroom isn’t exactly free of small items.

That didn’t stop them from destroying the playroom in a matter of minutes :) They had so much fun! They both have a lot to learn in the “sharing” department, but despite a few temper flares they were perfect!

 

Raeleigh and Ava are exactly a year apart so it is fun for me to see Raeleigh and remember the stage Ava was in a year ago. It doesn’t seem possible for time to be flying by so quickly!

 

After a little while, Ava wanted to show Raeleigh her slide, which is currently in the living room, so we moved in there where Ava brought out her ‘colors’ (aka- markers) Raeleigh immediately went for them and put them in her mouth. Ava knew this wasn’t right, so she grabbed Raeleigh’s paci and kept trying to put it in her mouth.

Raeleigh would take it for a few seconds and them spit it out and the whole process started all over again…..

“Good Girl”

“But I don’t want it!”

“You’re going to take it- TAKE IT!”

Ava hasn’t stopped talking about Raeleigh since she left- we will have to get them together again soon!
