Enjoying New Found Freedom

Ava is loving her new found freedom during naptime. I enjoy it most of the time too unless I have to pick up the aftermath(check out pictures below). Ava likes being in her room alone now and will play quietly by herself. This has allowed me to take a shower or get a few chores done around the house. I have also found that Ava will "sleep" longer. I think she thinks she is being sneaky and it is pretty cute. Ava will get out of her bed and play for a little bit. Then she gets back in bed and calls me to come get her like she just woke up. I think it is pretty funny and I don't mind the few extra minutes of free time.

Ava actually made this mound of a mess once. She emptied the 2 bottom drawers. One drawer contained blankets and the other was full of hand-me-down clothes she will eventually grow into. It was hard to be upset when I saw that cute and super happy smile. I just wanted until Rich was home to distract her and then put everything back.

Ava also likes to put toys on her bed. On this day she tried to fit all the toys, books, and shoes in her reach on the bed. She thought it was pretty funny and tried to even sleep this way.
