We finally headed down again to go see my dad for the weekend. The kids had a lot of fun hanging out at Pablo's house since there is so much space. We all ended up playing with a rolling catepillar toy that would zoom way across the floor -- Ryan had a blast crawling as fast as he could to catch it.
He also had a lot of fun crawling between Darren's legs while the game was going on. It was kind of funny to see him wiggle his way under there and turn around. Maybe a bit awkward for Darren though.
Ava once again got to go bowling with Pablo and also got to paint. She had a good time painting over her canvas from last time with him.
She asked me before we headed down there whether she could paint again and I told her we probably could. She also asked if she could paint naked again...I told her that this time we would bring a white shirt for her to get messy. Her outfit is a vast improvement over naked painting but she is still her undies. Oh well...love the addition of her socks. She had a lot of fun picking out the colors by herself.
Late Saturday afternoon, Rosemary, Chris & little Ashlen stopped by for a bit. It was great to catch up since we had not seen them in so long. Ashlen is walking (she's only 3 months older than Ryan but seem so much older as a result). She is such a cutie!
Ava, of course, was very enamored of Ashlen. I think she wanted her to be her very own little doll. I had to remind her a few times that she is a person and not, in fact, a doll. She has since mentioned "baby Ashlen" about a hundred times to me. Whether it is to tell me how cute she is or something else she did when we saw her. I think she would love to play with her again.
