Bad Bunny!

Bunny did a bad bad thing..... After being unable to control her trajectory upon being tossed by Ava, Bunny landed on the portable DVD player. Ava, knowing that this was not to be touched, promptly went over to Bunny and informed her, finger wagging "no touching, Bunny. Naughty!" She then took Bunny over to the Naughty chair, and set her upon it. Bunny, fortunately has learned her lesson, and has kept herself to herself since this episode of deviant behaviour.

I remember either Sara or Katie asking me whether I knew what ever happened to Trippy the WonderHorse..... Well, behold the answer in the pictures (for some reason I can't upload a picture direct into this blog today)

My mother, packrat extraordinare, found Trippy, and presented him to Ava during our last visit over there.... needless to say, Ava loves Trippy almost as much as Sara and Katie did, but without irony :) Ava does realize that Trippy does not technically belong to her, and will relinquish him if his real owners want him back!

I got an email today, thought I'd share - there's a useful (although depressing) website for parents :

http://www.familywatchdog.us/

It's the national sex offenders registry - including the ability to map out offenders near your address, and even pull up pictures of the offenders, including what their offenses. Maybe I'd have been happier not knowing that there were child molesters within a few miles of us, but I guess I'd rather have the tools to be aware of the threat.

On a MUCH happier note, we are prepping for Ava's second birthday - who can believe it? We're thinking cake and presents, but so far no ideas other than that. I did warn you of my lack of creativity...see previous post. I can't belive it's been that long, and I really look forward to watching her hone her skills....she's already a master at fit throwing, but I'm sure there are techniques and nuances she has yet to pick up. Plus, sheer lung power continues to grow.... We can't wait.

Fumbling toward the modern age...

Ok, I'm a total follower, but at least I have complete obliviousness to blame! (I'm sounding pretty smart here, eh?) I was trying to type a comment to another friend's blog, and wound up creating a blog of my own.

To defend myself, I did realize somewhere during the process what was going on, and decided to go with the flow. Eventually, my mother will be home long enough for me to teach her how to turn on the new computer my Brother & Sister-in-Law sent her, and after those 4 hours are over, I'll want to be able to direct her to somewhere she can get pictures of Ava, as well as Crawford, since Angie was way ahead of the curve on this one.

Besides, in what other written format could the total rambling strangeness of my mind be poured out in horrible, unedited detail? You've all been warned, I now abandon any pretense of sense or even responsibility in what I write here. It IS the internet - can't believe everything you read.... Ok, I will TRY not to lie too much. Embellish, yes, but lie no.

I will try to remember to add some stuff from time to time - you know, the sane, rational stuff from our daily lives :)

In any case, I hope you'll all enjoy it, and that I can figure out how to get back in here to add stuff !!
