Ava's Birthday Party

Grayson does not like Girls. Or so he claims. Everything is "Will there be any boys there?"  "I don't want her to babysit, she is a girl." I guess I get a free pass being mom? He at least pretends to love me.

A few weeks ago Grayson brought home a birthday party invitation. The party was for his classmate Ava. I have volunteered for recess duty at school a couple times, but haven't yet learned everyone's names so I really wasn't sure who Ava was. Grayson likes a good birthday party so I decided to ask him if he wanted to go.

Mom: Gray, do you want to go to Ava's Birthday Party?
Grayson: Ava from school?
Mom: Yes.
Grayson: Oh mom, Ava has looooong pretty hair. (sure he doesn't like girls)
Mom: Do you want to go to her party?
Grayson: Well Yeah (like I asked the most obvious question ever)
Mom: Well you will have to buy her a girl present.
Grayson: Why?
Mom: Because Ava is a girl, she would probably like a girl present.
Grayson: Well, I guess we can get her a mermaid.

Mermaid. Let me just go grab one of those to take. Lucky for me, there is apparently a Barbie Mermaid movie that was out recently so there are plenty of mermaids out there to buy.

So we make it over to Ava's party. Grayson kept up with Ava all night. Whichever area in Jump Zone Ava went, so did Gray. And between them, I'm pretty sure he chased her the entire time.

Ava is in the front row wearing black, and has some nice blue lips from the cake... if you make note, she does have long pretty hair :-)
