The Alligators Will Get You If You Don't Watch Out!


Whew! What a busy weekend. Friday night Ava spent her first night in her “big girl’s bed” which is a twin mattress on the floor. She fussed at first but eventually went to sleep, and she didn’t venture to get off the bed, we made it the whole weekend without her getting off that bed at nap time or at night. Amazing. In other exceptional toddler news, Ava went pee in the potty for the first time at home. I can’t believe how fast she is growing up. She’s also now deathly afraid of alligators thanks to the library and Michael. They had some stuffed animals on display. Daddy picked up the alligator and made a chomping motion towards Ava. That freaked her out. He then proceeded to chase her with it, and she ran away with eyes covered. When we got home later in the day he persisted with her fear and told her “the alligators are going to get you”. She was shaking in her boots. I think we found our new parenting strategy for a while.
