Things I Can Learn from a 13 month old (written when Ava was 13 months)

 I came across this little list that I wrote about Ava so I thought I'd share. Enjoy!

1. If you find a cheerio stuck to your toe, it's okay to eat it.
2. If people are not listening to what you are trying to say, keep repeating, louder and more pronounced, dragging each syllable out longer every time you repeat it. Do this as long as necessary. Someone will eventually respond.
3. Smiling and simply tilting your head will get you things in life.
4. Dance whenever you hear music.
5. Run every chance you get
6. Climbing is great exercise
7. You can reach anything with the help of a step stool.
8. Rocking chairs, boxes, toys, piles of clothes and dogs make great step stools.
9. Dog crates are wonderful places to hide.
10. If you can't find a good hiding spot, make one.
11. The microwave is almost as much fun to watch as the tv
12. Anything bright, shiny, sparkly, and plastic is beautiful
13. Yelling into a bucket makes for about 7 minutes of fun.
14. If you are wearing a dress, it is required that you twirl until you fall down.
15. Lotion does not taste like it smells. (But it's still too good to resist. )
