columns and rows


ava is a girl after her own mama, thriving on order and balance. when playing with her toys she often lines them all up in neat rows... looking very intense, involved and busy while doing it. after putting the girls to bed, i usually do a quick clean-up of everything before plopping down to enjoy the rest of the evening with bryce. i can't help but smile as i undo her works of art and recognize the time and detail she puts into it all.






but my ava is also well-rounded, creating a little chaos everywhere as well.

how cute is she. I love it when they start to figure things out like that...start color coding, lining them up, going by size, stacking whatever, is amazing just to watch them grow and learn!

Bestill Blake's heart- he lines everything up too! I think that form of (OCD) organization is endearing. :)

Um, I have some things at my house that need to be organized...Can I borrow Ava to help me with that??:)

It looks like she has already figured out that perfect balance between Chaos and Order...man I've been searching for that for years. I know the word Chaos well, Order on the other hand is one that needs to be added to my vocabulary:)
Hope all is well.

I think we saw you at Target Tuesday, we passed you as you were in your car driving away :(

I hadn't a clue that Ava was that way...that is just too funny!

There never seems to be any rhyme or reason around here.
