Playtime at Home
Ava was a busy girl over the weekend with her imaginative play. She held a circle time with her animals and she pretended to be the teacher. She sang songs and read them stories. It was really cute.
Last week at school they did a marble painting. It came out really good so I asked Ava if she could do another one at home for us. She set everything up herself- paper cups with different color paints and a marble and fork for each cup. She also told us that we needed a "litter box" to do it in. Thankfully she didn't go to the garage to get that. Instead, I took out one of our baking dishes. She then scooped the marble out of the paint with the fork and pushed it across the paper, making a beautiful design.
Ava also had a great time playing with her guys and dollhouse. She played quietly by herself for nearly an hour. She even told us that she didn't want us to disturb her. In her words, it was "Don't bother me, I'm playing by myself."
Lastly, on Sunday afternoon we went to the community center down the street to fly her kite. It was a windy day so perfect for kite flying. The kite flew as high as it could go (probably 100 feet) and Ava held on so tight all by herself. We were so proud of her. Then, Daddy thought he would take control of the kite to show Ava some diving tricks. After a few minutes of this, Dad got a little too confident and somehow let go of the handle. It took off high into the sky. Ava screamed and cried like she had just been severely injured. Daddy ran after the kite and dove, but to no avail. He then disappeared behind the buildings tracking the kite. When we caught up with him, the kite was stuck on one of the buildings and in a tree. He somehow managed to grap hold of part of the string. After another ten minutes, he got the kite down. He even has a cut around his eye to show for it.
