Today Ava Walked To The Sitter's Door

After the last couple of days, I was uneasy about how this would go, but you let me load you into the truck to go to Marissa's this morning. 

It's an 8-10 minute drive and when we arrived I got you out of the truck and to the driveway. 

As we walked, I handed you your lunch bag.

I took that as a yes. 

I let you down and you led the way up the driveway and to the front door.

You only needed a helping hand to keep your balance as you stepped over uneven pavement.
