And then she does something like this. . .

Ava:  I'm all done, may I be 'scused?
Me:  Yep, just take your plate into the kitchen.
Ava picks up her plate, takes it to where Daddy's plate is sitting, stacks them up, and takes both into the kitchen, grinning at me the whole time.


Me (post picnic in the yard): Ava, please bring in your plate and water bottle.

Ava grabs her dishes, along with Wyatt's plate and water bottle, and brings all of it into the kitchen.



There's hope, people, there's hope!!
