Halloween 2008

Throughout the year, Faviana can be Belle, Aurora, Mulan, or Odette during her dress up playtime with her friends and cousins. For Halloween, Faviana chose to be Tinkerbell. Faviana flew in to school and attended her Halloween parade around the school. It was a big occasion in Vineland this year as it was the first time in a while that Vineland celebrated on the actual day and not on the Saturday before. Parents lined up in the parking lot and cheered their monsters, goblings, fairies and princesses as they walked around the school two times. After parents could attend the classrooms and party it up with their grade-schoolers (with the exception of those parents who brought younger siblings. Babies and small children were not able to admire their older sibling --principal's rule). Parents were able to sign their child out of school as soon as the parade ended.
Faviana paraded on the school grounds and partied in the classroom. However Trick or Treating was only allowed between the hours of five and eight. So Faviana and her best friend Kaylee played. The witch chased the fairy around the yard.

And then it was time to trick or treat. Little 'AvaBell' also enjoyed Halloween this year. She actually held on to her bag for the entire event. She quite enjoyed herself and was excited when someone put candy in her bag.













Faviana also met many of her friend around the neighborhood. Kaylee, the witch, and Evie, the skeleton, and Faviana, Tinkerbell all are in Mr. Olivieri's first grade classroom.

I lost my front tooth

I lost my front tooth last night.

What an ordeal! I've been wiggling and wiggling and wiggling my tooth forever! Well...., at least a month.

My Mom noticed that my new teeth were coming in so she decided to take action. She wiggled it and wiggled it and wiggled it and then yanked it out.

Ouch!

Or it should have hurt because it bled so much but it really didn't hurt at all. I rinsed it out and have a brand new smile!

Oh! And the toothfairy came last night too and left me a little something too! Way cool!

Here I am on the bus stop with my baby sister waiting to show off my new look at school.

A day in the life of one year old Ava Argyro

I am Ava Argyro. Most people call me Ava. Some call me Argyro. My Dad calls me Miss B hAva. But that's ok because I do like to get into mischief.











I wake up really early and walk my sister, Faviana to the bus stop. After coming home, I open cabinets and drawers in the kitchen and take things out while my Mama makes me oatmeal. When it's time to eat, I can sign "more" when I went more and call out "Ah", "Ah", "Ah" when I see something I'd like to eat. This Halloween, I discovered chocolate! But Mama ignores that request.

I like to take all the books out of the bookshelf in the playroom, put on necklaces and bracelets all by myself and when my Mama's not looking crawl rapidly to the Mount Everest of stairs. I'm very fond of climbing them and then calling out at the top for Mama because I don't actually like coming down them!











I'm very good tempered. I rarely cry and smile all the time. Mama walks me with the stroller or sometimes she carries me with the bjorn. I like being outside, rain or shine.
