What's new with Ava

Ava is a hoot as usual. She is really enjoying school and is even learning to write her name!  Each day her teacher shows me her progress.  Each day in class they do "the news" where they ask each child to tell them something about themselves and the teacher writes it down.  Then the child goes up and circles all the letters of the day in the sentence.  Each day I go check to see what Ava said that day.  Here is what she's said so far:

Mommy's going to pick Ava up after work
Daddy's taking Ava to Granddads house
Ava's riding on an airplane to go see my Gigi
Henry's coming to visit my house

One day they had to say what they were thankful for and Ava said "Daddy, Mommy and Brynn"
Another project was "how to make a Thanksgiving Turkey" and Ava's said "I will just buy it at the store"

She loves walking over to go get Brynn from her classroom and seeing all of the babies.  She knows them all by name and knows all of the teachers.  Of course when her and cousin Trent see eachother at school, they don't even speak.  They act like complete strangers, which cracks Court and I up.
Her latest thing is dressing up in princess costumes and telling us what all she's going to do when she gets bigger.  She thinks she is bigger already by the way.  But the things she's informed us she's going to do when she gets bigger are: open the door by herself, open the gate to the backyard by herself, walk across the street and go to work with Daddy.

"mommy's surprise" that she made me when she was supposed to be napping

Things she can do by herself now:
drink from a big girl cup
put on her own socks and shoes
put on her own panties and pants
take off her clothes
buckle herself in her carseat
get her own water from the fridge
