That Mavala stuff is a MIRACLE! Ava did in fact cry herself to sleep that night (in my bed) and woke up the next morning with a very bad taste in her mouth but NEVER sucked her thumb again! Two days later we were driving home from the airport when Ava says to me, "Mom, I didn't suck my thumb the entire day - not when I was at home, not when I was driving in the car, not when I was watching TV..." (you get the idea). We stopped applying the Mavala to Ava's nails after the 2nd day and she hasn't even once put that little thumb back into her mouth. Yea!!!!
Now for the funny. An hour ago Ava was sitting on the counter while I was making dinner. We had a discussion that went something pretty close to this...
Ava - "Mom, Kate told me that I can only be one thing when I grow up".
Me - "You can be as many things as you want to be. You could decide to be one thing and then change your mind and do something else".
Ava - "I want to be three things"
Me - "Oh really? What are those three things?"
Ava - "1) A doctor 2) A dolpin rider and....(long pause) 3) I want to clean toilets with that brush thingy".
Me - Laughing hysterically. Can't respond for 30 seconds and then can only hug my funny little girl.

That is so funny Carolyn! Love it.
Sometimes cleaning toilets with that brushy thing does feel like my full time profession. I like it much more than I thought I would. :)
Ava can come over to my house and use my "brushy thingy" any time she wants! (We have boys so we have them in all our bathrooms and they really get a workout!)
Great to hear from you guys. Can't wait to see my BIG GIRL Ava in a few months...we love you!
Oh my, Ava....you are too funny!
Yeah for Mavala! Boooo for the brush thingy. Thumbs up for the dolphin rider, too! She's "character approved"!
Haha! Dare to dream, little Ava! That's awesome. When I was her age I wanted to be the checker at the grocery store, who typed all of the prices into the cash register...yes, I'm aging myself. ;)
That's funny. Tell Ava I always wanted to be a mommy and my best friend next door wanted to be a horse!:) Hugs to all of you!
Everyone needs an "AVA" in their home!
Ha Ha Ha! What is it about little ones and their obsession with toilet brushes? Too cute.
