Today Ava Became A Toddler

If you want to get technical, you've been a toddler since your first birthday. But tonight it dawned on mom and I that your actions and mannerisms are more like a kid than a baby. 

Maybe it's been this way for sometime but it just didn't smack us in the face like it did this evening.

As we were cooking dinner, mom peeked around into the living room to check on you. She quickly turned to me and whispered that I need to stop and see this. We both quietly looked around the corner to see you giving your best effort to change the diaper on your baby doll. 

A grown up move.

We've said for a long time that you'll study what we do, now you're taking the test and trying to mimic our actions. 

You were doing a great job changing the baby's diaper. You were so close to completing the task but had a little trouble securing the one flap. Otherwise, it was perfect. By now, you had felt our eyes on you and knew we were watching. 

It looks like you're going to be a very helpful older sister someday!
