There is a song called wings: Mama told me not to waist my life, she said spread your wings my little butterfly. Don't let what they say keep you up at night, because you wings were made to fly ~ Little Mix

These word/Lyrics have inspired me to help my mom with my sister more and most of all, make sure her wing are built strong enough to FLY! I love you so much Ava. <3

Hugs and Kisses from the big sissy, xoxo...

The Tub

Moans and groans
She won't get in
She does want to enter
To the water bin

We strip her down
Get her all wet
Apply the soap
But she won't let

Us do her hair
Or clean her up
She likes the grime
And her cup

That is about all
Not the bath
But once we add toys
It's a blast

Her Guys and an Elephant

Two pink giraffes
These are her guys
On blue elephant
With two black eyes

Takes them everywhere
Smells just like her
She will always love
That pink and blue fur

Takes them in her crib
Won't leave one behind
Has to have all 3
She knows it in her mind

They trail with so many memories
So many distant thoughts
So many charming moments
For no price can they be bought

Her Hands

When she plays they are dirty

When she sleeps they are clean

When she eats they are nasty

Sometimes in between 

Small and very pretty

They start to grow too

In the distant future 

There will be big hands, two

Saver them while they're here

Hate to see them go

Her body will leave with them

It's a Shame, wouldn't you know

That Feeling You Get

That feeling you get
When you know you've done good
When you see her smile
And has done what she should

That feeling you get
When she does something bad
But instantly knows it
And fixes it, and makes you glad

That feeling you get
When she gives you a kiss
Or gives you a hug
That immediate bliss

That feeling you get
When you know you are loved
And especially by
That one that you love

Broken Tree, Broken Heart

The kids and I
We're just having fun
Taking a jump on the trampoline
One day in the sun

Having a ball
Doing some flips
The little children run
And try and do tricks

We can't even forget
The games we played
The mummy one
Is everyone's fav.

Then we all get off
To take a break
We here a snap
And thank god were okay

It was a large tree
Fell right on top
Of the bouncy fun
Just went "kerplop!"

The Tooth

Most people loose teeth
But those fall out
This one didn't
Without a doubt

Just one normal day
Taking a tub
Time to get out
And then "BUNK..BLUB"

Mom stands up worried
Her baby might not be okay
By now her mouth is bleeding
What was she suppose to say

Takes the girl and runs
Try's to fix her up
Next morning it's gone
So we get her a cup

While she's sitting there drinking
We start to search and look
Found it in her crib
Lost on the fall she took.

The First Few Minutes

I held her in my arms

Like a little doll

But then time for sleep

She hit the wall

A little newborn

So easy to break,

I can't imagine

The dedication it must take

To keep her so perfect 

So pretty and nice

So tender and small

So tiny and precise 

So then I put her down

Give her back to my mom

Don't want to wake her

Keep her nice and calm

The Red Bike

Last Christmas
She got the new red bike
She got right on
I thought she liked

Now she's two
Can barely ride
Leave it up to the neighbors
To take it and hide

So maybe she'll learn
To ride the red wheels
But for now, it will stay
Do we have a deal?

The Swing

In the backyard

Of an old red house

Is a small playground

The size of a mouse

Not old nor new

Still fun for the kids

But not for us

Who have to watch what they did

So she yells and screams

Until she gets her way

So we take a walk 

To the old wood decay

At least it brings joy

A smile to her face

She could swing all day long

That is her place

My Girl

Toes that fill the foot prints

Hair that flow through the air

A grin that fills her face

I take her in my care

The best part of my day

The smile that touches my heart

Can't get any better

Very sweet and oh so tart

Together

We hold hands
We run along
We play the games
We sing a song

Together we go
Along the path
Then take a turn
To make new tracks

Been a few bumps
Along the way
After it all
I would just like to say

I love you
Together we'll go
Don't you worry
I'll never let go

By Abigail Kelly
Dedicated to Ava Clark

Waves

Don't be scared
I won't let you fall
Take a chance
We'll have a ball

Start with a toe
Then we'll go with more
Maybe a leg
Don't run back to shore

She's half way there
You're almost done
Just your stomach
Now wasn't that fun?

Now she won't stop
Loving the beach
Wants to go back
And wants me to teach
