Now it's time to start this month's hop!
MONTH EIGHT
For me: Life is About... making BIG girl choices
After Ava's surgery and recovery, we knew it was time for her bed to be converted into a big girl bed, giving her a little more freedom and independence. We of course ask her first because sometimes it's good to give your children choices about certain decisions. She was all for it! She really is a very sweet little (I mean, big) girl! She {generally} makes an effort to be obedient, which is another reason we knew this decision was a great idea. And we were right. She absolutely loves it! And what we love is that she stays in her bed {almost} entirely during nap-time and nighttime. She usually waits for us to come get her in the mornings, but there are a few times when she tip toes over to our room to let us know she's awake, which is perfectly fine and quite adorable. Wouldn't you agree that she is just precious in the image below?!!  And just so you know, we're working on other big girl changes too (like potty training, which is definitely challenging but also rewarding... it won't be long 'til she's successfully finished!). It's just hard to believe my sweet angel is growing up so fast!  

What is life about for you?!! Please link up and share below. We'd love to hear about what's important in your life!
