When Ava makes a big mess I always say, "who made this mess" and she responds very truthfully with "Ava". "So who needs to clean it up?" I respond. "Mommy!" she always says and then I always do.
We are so excited baby Luke is here and look forward to watching him grow! We love you, Luke!
We are back from Disney...sadly...but somehow I caught a yucky cold that is consuming all of my energy right now! I promise we will share pictures soon! :)
Ava woke up on Monday morning with a cough. She acted totally fine but during her nap she coughed the entire time! Then on Monday night she was still coughing so on Tuesday morning I called the doctor. They told me to bring her in and so we dropped everything and headed over to Ava's favorite place in the world! Now at her 2 year check up she screamed from the time the nurse walked in to the time Dr. Buck walked out...but yesterday she didn't make a peep! He said her ears looked fine, throat was fine, and she just had a little cold. (THANK YOU, JESUS!) He gave her some cough medicine and told us to have a great Disney trip! (Of course I mentioned we were going to Disney next week and I needed a well child for that trip...) As soon as he was out the door Ava looked at me and said "pop-pop?" She has been taught well! She knew she did an awesome job and was ready for her well-deserved reward! 
Here is Ava with her ringpop while we waited for her medicines at the drug store! She almost looks like she's whining in this picture but I think she was saying "chheeeeese" really hard!! :)
Romantic is not a word I would use for Valentine's Day this year. I teased David last night and told him I was going to blog about how un-romantic our day was and he didn't think I would do it...think again, Dave! :) I take full responsibilty for signing myself up to work all weekend so we didn't see each other much. Seeing as how I plan ahead I had already bought David's cards and gift way in advance! I woke up on Valentine's Day just in time to see Ava and David before they went over to my Nana's for lunch. We gave Ava her gift, a Belle shirt and lollipops and I gave David his cards and a bag full of new socks (we agreed that his ski trip would be his real gift.) David gave me a card and said that he forgot to get me a card from Ava. I opened the card and it was a funny card that he forgot to even sign his name to! (You know you've been together a long time when you buy each other a funny Valentine's card and not a sappy, sweet one!) He also said that he ordered the flip flops I had picked out and put in my online shopping cart myself..how sweet! :) Then on Valentine's night I headed to work for the last of my 3 night stent in the ER. What a night that was!! I mean don't people want to stay home and cuddle with their sweeties on Valentine's?? I guess the majority of Wilson would rather sit in the ER waiting room for hours on end because they have a sore throat and a cough that they have had for 2 weeks??!! Anyway, I did wake up this morning to find a sweet card in the kitchen that David and Ava had signed so that made me smile! David said he would make up for the crappy day when we are in Disney World...which is 14 days away!!!! I hope you all had a great Valentine's Day filled with love and chocolates!! :)
