50 Things [I Love About Ava] by Sheye: 32-50 (some are not in the video due to spacial issues.)

32. How after a day at kindy shed be all sandy and smelling of perfume thanks to cuddles from Miss Bernicey.

33. The way shed come out of the shower with a towel around her chest, not over her shoulders, and another wrapped around her head like a big girl. Sometimes Id turn her towel into a crown.

34. Her hair. Thick, golden, curly, glamorous..even as she woke. Buying baby clips was one of the first things I did when I found out she was a she. How I adored brushing her hair and fixing ribbons. And oh how she hated it. And after she was gone and I needed to do something for her, thats what I did. I combed her hair ever so carefully, silently begging that I would be glad I did one day. I am.

35. The way shed sit so quietly as I read to her at night. The last book I read to her was Guess How Much I Love You.

36. Her love of Dora, lip gloss, tiaras, nail polish, spotty shoes, pink Havianas and everything princess. Just not hair clips.

And from Daddy:

37. How wed be made to tidy her room before lights out. Shed lay in bed instructing us to pick this up and put that away..As she got older the instructions became more demanding.

38. The way shed call our refer to our wonderful cleaner as The Brigid. Just as if she were an appliance one could purchase. The days Brigid had been and Ava could see how tidy the house was, shed ask Has The Brigid been today?

39. Her love of Sleeping Beauty, which she called Hi-Ho. Her Grandan would tuck her up in bed when she stayed at his house with pillows plumped all round watching it as she went to sleep.

40. Playing in the pool with Daddy, she would raise her finger and say with such seriousness Now, dont throw me up in the air, all the while wanting him to do just that.

41. Sharing everything her Dad ate. He could never eat a meal alone, she saw his food as her food.

42. The way shed call Ivy Ibee. As she got older, she changed it to Ive.

43. How shed get all red and puffed out running up hills. Not unlike her Mummy.

44. Her amazingly sweet nature - it was just so hard to be cross at her. One day she refused to put her seat belt on and I told her Paper Tiger daddy hed have to get a lot tougher with her, it was serious. He looked back at me and said Youll have to do it. He was such a pushover and she was a Daddys girl through and through.

45. How, when leaving kindy, she would raid the fridge and attempt to make off with other childrens leftovers.

46. And, along the same lines, how shed steal food from the fridge and hide it all over the house. The Brigid found full packets of sliced meat behind curtains more than once.

47. Her love of piggybacks from Luca.

48. That she made us better parents.

49. And better people.

50. And I love, so very much, that she continues to be a part of our lives..That she keeps teaching us lessons and that her coming, no matter how short she stayed, has meant something very, very wonderful.
