There hasn't been too much to update about recently, we've just been trying to keep warm and stay awake! Ava doesn't seem to care much about sleeping these days so she's awake all day long and wakes up at 6:00am every morning.
Last night we went for dinner at Isabelle, Eric and Cody's house and didn't get home until 9:00pm. I thought Ava would sleep in this morning because of her late night but nope! Wide awake at 6am again. *sigh*
Graham and I are going to bed earlier and earlier every night because we're so tired. He has been working a lot and I think he could use a couple of days off.
Ava and I went to a town called Chichester a few days ago and had a really nice time walking around the shops. I found some new jeans and Ava got some new markers and a colouring book. Graham was flying out of the airport nearby so we drove down with him and walked around while he worked. I drove over to Arundel Castle which was about 10 minutes away and Ava and I looked at it from the outside for a few minutes. She really liked it and she thinks that there's a fairy inside. We'll try and come back when it's open in April, it's such a beautiful castle.
It's not the best picture, the lighting wasn't great because the sun had nearly set. We'll go back and take better pictures another time. :)
Anyway, aside from her poor sleeping habits, Ava has been pretty well behaved recently - with the exception of the day she got ahold of a razor in the bathroom and cut her lip open... it was horrible but luckily it has healed really quickly and there's almost nothing to see now.
She had a bit of a tummy bug the day before yesterday which struck while we were grocery shopping and about as far away from the toilet as possible... amazingly Ava held it in until we got to the toilet and she seemed much better afterward. She had a low fever later that afternoon but has been fine since. Not sure what it was but I'm glad it seems to have passed quickly.
We went for a nice wintery walk the other day after it snowed. It was beautiful in the woods, the sun was shining through the trees and everything was sparkling. Shame the picture didn't capture quite how pretty it was.
