Ava Quotes

Since last summer Ava will say "It's mines". Here is the difficult conversation I have with her to explain the correct way to say it when she is trying to tell me something is hers.

Ava - It's mines
Tracey - No Ava, it's mine
Ava - now raising her voice " No it's mines Mommy"
Tracey - trying to think of a way to re-word it so she doesn't think I'm playing a game of It's mine-no, it's mine.
Tracey- Yes I know Ava it isn't mine it's yours, but you are saying it wrong, you need to say it's mine.
Ava-It's mines Mommy, It's mines!
Tracey- (very frustrated with numerous tries at correcting her...then telling Ava you don't add an 's' at the end of 'mines'.
Ava-with a pyuzzled look at what I just said again says "It's mines".
Tracey- I give up, it's yours Ava, yes it's yours.


Spitting up-

Tracey- Ava, would you be a good big sister and get Mommy a cloth. Leah just spit up and it's running down her face.
Ava- No mommy she spit down.

Ava Eating Play Doh

Tracey- Ava! You can't eat play doh. It will make you sick.
Ava- not knowing what sick is looks at me and tries to eat some more
Tracey- You might get sick and we would have to go to the hospital
Ava- (in a snarky voice) I'm not a baby Mommy. (her only experience with hospital's are visiting me and Holly after having our babies).

Her logic is impeccable. Mommy, don't you know the difference between up and down? Got some great photos of the two of them going on there.
