Ava's birthday





At Ava's Fairyland birthday party Ruby really chatted up the grown ups about how she is a big girl in a big hurry. (I guess maybe mommy has been rushing around too much.)

She decided the puppet show was too scary so we looked at the rabbits and goats until the group convened for lunch and cake. Most of the kids are scared of the puppet show, actually. But some choose to watch it in horror. Ruby wisely decided she didn't need that kind of stress today.

We found out that today's show was Beauty and the Beast. Ruby asked a lot of questions trying to get information about it from the other kids. But they don't talk as much as she does yet so we didn't get much.

Ruby is very interested in animals. She loves to pet the goats at Fairyland and visit the ones down the street. She always asks to go on nighttime walks to see if she can see the cats coming home to get their dinner. Last night at Bites on Broadway (a Friday night gourmet food truck event) she met a baby cat in his owner's sweater and she was really focused on petting him and talking about him for a long time.

Ruby told the owner all about cats, "They don't like to get wet, dogs chase them away and they really like to be scratched gently behind the ears."
