Praying

This is Ava's prayer posture. She loves to pray recently, and asks me to pray "again" and "again." She loves to say "Amen" at the end, and she is pretty good about closing her eyes and putting her hands up to her face to pray. She was obviously peeking in this picture, but that might just be because she knew the camera was out! It is so adorable. She will even remind me when we sit down to eat if I forget to pray. She says something like "dear jesus blehta hesoitja oaisdhfoij amen." :-)

Ava is learning how to sing bits and pieces of songs, such as "twinkle twinkle little star," "ashes ashes all fall down," "row, row, row your boat," and the "wiggle wiggle wiggle" song from the Mickey Mouse clubhouse album (a new favorite). It is so amazing how quickly she is learning. I think that in a few months she'll be able to sing entire songs on her own. She can also count from one to two :) Haha I know that's not much. But she does understand what "two" is and will say "two" when she has two of something. I'm trying to work on teaching her "three" but she seems to have some sort of mental block with that one. Maybe soon she'll figure it out.
