Fall is coming!!!
This might just be the most thrilling time of year for me. I greatly anticipate the close of summer. I crave fall days at the park, my bare feet in cold grass, running to chase a frisbee which I am not coordinated to catch or throw. Then racing home to a nice home cooked meal with fresh basil from my front yard and a night ending in story time with hot cocoa (with marshmellows, of course) and for me, coffee. Doesn't that just stir something in you that makes you treasure these fall days! I love them! I also love that a change in season means Averi gets to wear all her new cloths that I have been collecting for the past year from the sale racks I love to frequent! Check her out in one of her new cutie dresses, all grown up and ready for school. Love this girl!!!

They get bigger!
So I will say I love the JBF Sale. We really got some great finds and I think it is a huge blessing to moms in our city! But each year as I'm dropping off my items, I get so sad because Ave is getting so big! I want her to stay this little girl forever! And on top of that depressing session, we are potty training! Which is wonderful...I'm not at all sad to part ways with diapers. BUT it all means she is getting bigger, and the truth about that is, I don't like it!
She is getting a bit more comedic in her old age of 2 and a half! In this potty training stretch we are definitely learning to talk to Jesus about everything...like poop. She will say,"Jesus, I really need to poop." And later will say, "Thank you Jesus for my poop." I guess I could learn a thing or two from her grateful and dependent spirit!
In closing, the JBF sale provided us with 3 princess babies that are my potty prizes in order not to rot her teeth by the age of 4! So when she goes for a few days with no accidents, she gets a baby. The goal is that when the babies are gone, she is trained! So far, so good. So on the way to Miss Becca's this week, I say, "Ave, remember to go to the big girl potty today, okay?" She says, "If I do I can have my yellow baby that's in the garage." I say, "If you do you can have your yellow baby. Her name is Belle." She says, "Does she ring?"
