Nothing in particular...

So today we spent about 3 hours(including travel time) at a Genetics appointment for Miss Ava. She honestly hasn't been since an infant, for multiple reasons, mainly because insurance failed to see a reason for it. Ha. Ha. So anyhow, the appointment went very well. It was held at the M.I.N.D. institute, and the two ladies we saw today were fantastic! So kind and informative and really interacted with Ava quite well. Ava even liked one of them. ;) They said there wasn't much more they could offer Ava, we don't have any behavioral issues as of yet, although there are definitely moments, days, where I seriously question that ;), we already have speech and preschool going, as well as some OT through preschool. They do have a support group for 22q, and they gave me all sorts of information on other services, studies, etc that they do. They are also going to pass our info along to Dr. Tony Simon, and try to get Ava into his next study, so we are super excited for that. More on that as it comes along...


Today Ava also had class spring photos, and she picked out her new favorite dress(yes it changes daily) to wear with her sparkly sandals her Grammy picked up for her. Ava was running around the house practicing her pose ALL morning, it was the cutest thing ever. Then as soon as we picked her up from class she saw us and instantly busted out her photo pose, hilarious! We got home and took a little stroll around the block before lunch since the weather lately is amazing! I am still trying to learn this lens on my camera so I took it along. Well, anytime Ava saw me go for the camera she would stop what she was doing and start posing, how do you NOT laugh, and capture that!?







And in other, all thought and time-consuming news, I am in full swing of the planning of Miss Ava's party. If you have any crafty or baking skills, CALL ME PRONTO! I am so not above a family or friend discount/handout. ;) For family and friends, I will have invites in the mail the beginning of May. But her party falls on her birthday this year, so NO excuses!
