Safety lesson

Ava to my mom on when it's okay to call 911, "If you or Grandpa are lethargic."


Nana, taken aback: "And what if they ask you what that means?"

Ava: "You know: if your eyes won't open and I lift your arm and it just drops. But they're the professionals: they should know that!"

Paging Dr. Jones

4 y.o. Ava to me as I sprinkled a little salt on my dinner: "Not too much: you don't want to get diabetes."

Ava hits like a girl. A badass girl. In a tutu.

Ava, princess tutu dress and all at her pre-birthday shindig over the weekend, nails one on the new Tee ball set after some coaching from dad. Guffaws at the end are because it was a line drive that almost took a cousin's head off!


Not only can she hit, she throws sizzling fast balls overhand like she spent spring training working out with a major league ball club.
