In our new house, we can look up at the stars as we lay in Ava’s bed. Each night we make a wish (and say something we’re thankful for).
Last night’s wish from Ava:
I wish that I could have a baby in my tummy.
Ava’s wish tonight:
I just wish the same thing as I always do- that I can be a fairy.
So far, she’s been thankful for her teacher Ann, our new house, and that I am her mom. We just added this part and I like it a lot. I read in my parenting magazine that families who regularly give thanks are happier. I also read that families that are able to be satisfied with what they have are happier, too. We’re pretty happy over here right now

Oh, I like this tradition! Will have to add it to our nightly routine which includes pulling a dream card. This morning the fairies reminded Clara to bring her book for show and tell and then I pointed out the book was on the counter. Clara surmised the nice house gnome must have helped out since the book is too heavy for the fairies
Lately, Clara has talked a lot about how I needed a daughter and she needed a mommy and now that we are together, no one can ever take us apart. So sweet, although it makes me sad she first worried I might be taken from her.
Oh, and Ava already has a seat on Clara’s rocket to Mars … Clara would inform you that Jupiter is a gassy planet, but Mars isn’t so we can fly there in the rocket that we will store in our garage.
Miss you guys.
