Dear Ava,

Now you're 3 and a half. 

You started swimming lessons this past weekend and we could barely believe it when you got right in. 

You see, your older brother? He wouldn't. He sat on the stairs and cried. 

Looking for mama.

He lasted precisely one half of one class.

You are SO brave.

Not afraid of anything this girl of mine.

You have ants in your pants. And just CANNOT stay still. 

Always jumping. Even while on the pool deck waiting for your turn to jump into the instructor's arms.

You still don't like water on your face but you'll get there.

We have full fledged conversations you and I. I guess it's because I am talking to you {or at you?} ALL THE TIME. Poor thing, you have no choice but to respond and try to keep up. 

Your mama likes to talk. And so do you.

You are still not much of an eater. And still drink enough milk to feed a small country. 

You love pasta, strawberries, chocolate and "cumbercues". 

Pizza too. 

And going out for dinner. You love that.

I think it's because you're such a social butterfly.

Always ready to talk to anyone and make a new friend. 

If  someone asks you what your name is, you reply "Ava Grace" 

When asked how old you are, you usually say "10".

And anytime of day or night is "7 and 30" for you. 

I never want to forget these things.

You are truly one of a kind.

And I wholeheartedly believe you are going to do big things one day.

Love you my sweet girl.
