Ava Got Into Vaseline and Worse Gave Herself A Haircut

          The first week of Tyson's break little miss Ava decided to get into a few things to start it off right.  First she came into our room in the morning and was saying "Daddy, daddy, come I show you."  Both of us were still trying to wake up and so Tyson rolled over to pick her up and she was to slippery to do it.  He opens his eyes and looks at her and she is shinning all over her body covered in Vaseline.  We both got up quick as she keeps saying she wants to show us something.  We went to her room and she had unloaded a brand new Vaseline bottle all over herself, the wall, and her bed.  We were laughing so hard and hurried and grabbed the camera to take a picture.  She would not stay still for us to get one of her until she stopped again to show us what she did.  It took a while to clean it up but we laughed the entire time.  Oh it was a great moment in a parents life.

         The next day was the worst of the two.  Tyson just got Ava out of the shower and put her in our room and came down stairs because he thought I had her clothes.  When I told him no they are on the bed he went back upstairs and found Ava on our dresser with scissors and a bunch of her hair piled by her feet.  He wasn't even away from her for 2 minutes and she did this.  Tyson just said, "Ava what did you do?"  "Go and show your mom."  He said it calmly but Ava knew he wasn't happy.  When I came up the stairs cause I heard them I saw her and she said to me " Mom I look pretty!!!"  She chopped it good down to the scalp on one side.  Tyson was devastated that his little girl had chopped her hair and that her hair took along time to grow to were it was now.  If you know Tyson your hair and how it looks is important.  I put the hair in a bag and explained to her that only mommy and daddy can cut her hair and nobody else especially not her.  We decided to not cut it but just let it grow out and then eventually do a little trim.  Until that time we did have Ava wear a hat or anything to cover her head and its a good thing it is cold in Portland that time of year.
