Smith Family Weblog

This morning, Doug emailed three little remarks he heard Ava make in the past few months. He wanted help in preserving them, so I offered to post them here. It’s a perfect addition for Grandparents’ Day.

So, from Grandpa Smith…

1) “Grandpa – why are you wearing your barn hat?” (I was wearing a straw hat.)

2) I saw Ava walking toward the house with a flower in her hand. I said to Rebecca, “Oh, I think maybe Ava’s is bringing a flower to her mommy.” Ava came in and handed it to Rebecca, who thanked her profusely, really beaming. A seemingly perfect mother-and-child moment, that ends with Ava saying: “I stepped on it.”

3) We took Ava on then golf cart down to Chris and Martie’s. When we passed their over-the-top eagle sculpture, with its talons prominently jutting out, Ava said, “Grandpa, why does that eagle have toenails?”
