Geologist

Ava has been learning about the earth in school. She is especially interested in volcanoes. Sunday was one of the first really nice days of Spring here in Nor-Cal and Ava and Dad played outside in the backyard. Ava put on a pair of 3-D glasses and said that she was going to collect some rocks. Dad explained that is what a geologist does.

Somersaults

This Thursday is the "circus" at Ava's school. The preschool and kindergarten kids perform a series of acts in the fashion of a true circus. Some children are clowns and some are circus animals. This year Ava is an acrobat and here she is in the garage practicing her somersaults.

Pigtails

Pictures like this have been posted before, but they are always cute. Her hair is finally getting long enough that it looks especially cute in pigtails. When Ava was younger she would never leave anything in her hair for more than a few minutes, but now she will leave her pigtails or barrettes in all day long at school.

Child of the week

Dad forgot to post this sooner but better late than never. In January when they celebrated Ava's birthday at school they also made her "child of the week". The do that for the week of the child's birthday. The parents help make a photo board of pictures and they put it up in the classroom. Then the children spend some time learning about their child of the week. Here is Ava's photo board. If you click on it you should see a bigger image. Mom did the photos and helped arrange the board and Ava decorated with stickers. There are pictures of hiking in New Hampshire, Ava as a baby, Ava in the, and Ava with her grandma and grandpa and mimi and papa.
