Got My Mind Set On You

For the past week Ava has been determined to learn how to wink. Once she puts her mind to something, it seems as though she has to prove it to herself that she can do it.

She"ll put her focus and a lot of her time trying to accomplish her goal. There was the whistle mania, the 25 piece puzzle extravaganza,the balancing on one leg quest , the snapping of the fingers adventure, and most recently eye winking. I am often in the background leading the "never give up" cheers and then in forefront armed with hugs when she just can't seem to get it. It's usually a matter of days before she has got it down and then off to the next thing. This time it's jump roping. But between you and me....this one could take awhile.
