Five Fun Things
Here are five fun things for Friday.
Fun Thing #1:
Ava and I have become addicted to a new-to-us music group called Rabbit. You should go give it a listen. It’s happy, it’s peppy, it makes a 30 mile commute a sort of fun thing to do. My favorite is Ladybug. This album is awesome because Ava will even let me sing along with it. 
Fun Thing #2:
At the same time we discovered Rabbit, Ava and I also started digging a kids’ album called Do Fun Stuff, Vol. 1. Rabbit does several of the songs on this compilation, too. Seriously fun, not annoying kids music. Ava’s favorite is “Potty Time”! She knows all the words and sings along. It’s the second song on the album…she only listens to the first song because I make her wait to get to “Potty Time.”
Fun Thing #3:
We’ve had super good luck with Craigslist in the last two weeks. We scored a bike for Ava’s birthday for $10 and a double jogger stroller for $50. The bike is going to get a fresh coat of paint, a new seat, a bell and a basket this weekend. The jogger was the key element to a very fun walk the kiddos and I took earlier this week. Hooray for turning others’ old stuff into our new fun stuff!
Fun Thing #4:
Ava can spell her name. She did that for me for the first time last night. And, now, she can write it too! She learned that within five minutes of spelling it for me. So, so proud of our smart girl.
Fun Thing #5:
The boy, he talks. And smiles.
