What Ava Wore : Ava and Friends

Ah, the terrible two's. 
It's funny how you really do forget how difficult they can be.

Ava is so there right now. besides fighting the potty training {and I mean fighting} and basically sustaining herself on milk and the occasional peanut butter covered something; she has taken to never leaving her "friends" behind.

She doesn't seem to have fully grasped the whole object permanence thing and must have every.single.one of her toys in her sight at all times.

Yes, of course I mean in her crib.

1/2 getting 'em all in there.the face I can't resist

3/4 a faux patch and some cute toes.a bottle {yes, I know, I know}

5/6 double-checking to make sure I haven't missed anyone.a happy dance

7. climbing in for nap time 

This is quite the endeavor each time we go up and down the stairs or God forbid, try to leave the house.

tears. more tears.

and then, she hands them to me one by one. 

All 37 of them. Or thereabouts.
She doesn't actually carry anything. Just keeps looking back at me on the stairs to make sure i've got them all. 

For my part, I wait until she's fallen asleep to remove all but one of her friends.

And then we go through it all over again when she wakes up.

Good times.
