Miss Ava is having a bit of an emotional time. She hates her shoes and socks. Well, mostly she hates her socks, but she won't wear her Vans without socks. She does not like the way they make her feet feel and they bother her toes. She hates her panties and leggings. She says her panties give her a wedgie (thanks Iris for that- ha ha!) She is also very dramatic and will just start crying at any little thing. Everything we do lately comes with some drama.
I have been going over and over the past week in my head trying to figure out what is going on in that sweet little head of hers. I finally think I figured it out. She is five! And, sometimes being 5 and adjusting to kindergarten, or anything new for that matter, is hard. She is tired after spending all day everyday in school. She misses me and her little sis. She often tells me she wants to be "out doing fun things with me and Maya." She misses our trips to Costco, TJ's, the Y and all the other little things we used to do.
I kept her home on Friday and her and Maya played all day long. They went to the library and checked out books. We read all the books about five times and that evening we spent the night hanging out as a family. We watched a movie, read the library books again and snuggled on the couch in front of our first fire of the year. I think it was a day much needed for everyone.
Today getting ready for school was a breeze. I think an extra day of rest was just what Ava needed.
