Camp Paula - Last Day

Guest Post: Auntie Paula recounts her week with Ava

After making it through the stomach bug, Ava was full of energy and Paula was relieved! We decided to take it easy by shopping at Kohls. Among the clothes that Ava picked out, she found a purple Hello Kitty tutu dress. Several attempts were made by Paula to redirect Ava's attention away from this dress. However, the moment Ava saw the dress her mind was made up - it was HER dress! (Editor's note: This outfit became Ava's summer uniform. She wore it EVERY day it wasn't in the laundry hamper.)

After Kohls, we went home for lunch, quiet time and then arts & crafts. While crafting, Ava and I divided up some stickers to use as we saw fit while making our art. Paula got one sticker and Ava got the rest! When trying to negotiate for a second sticker, Ava exclaimed to Paula "Hey! But we made a plan!" Immediately after that she shared all of the remaining stickers.

Joe returned from his trip and we had dinner together followed by several hours of Candy Land, Chutes & Ladders, Hide-and-Seek and reading books. It was a great night!
