Trendy Tot Tuesday {Twinkle, Twinkle}

While I was pregnant with Ava, I really had no idea I was having a girl until the last month, maybe 2 months. I just had this image in my head of Olivia having a little sister. So when she was born, while I didn't REALLY know, I was still so surprised, but in the BEST way possible!

Olivia has always loved to sing, and I would find myself after Olivia had fallen asleep, slipping  away to go to sit in the glider in the nursery alone. It was "my" time, whether it was for 5 mins to just put my feet up or for an hour. I would imagine the baby that would be sleeping in that nursery, would that baby be a boy or a girl? what would their personality be like? etc. I would also sing to that baby in my belly (no I do not have the greatest singing voice, ha!) and that song I would sing was twinkle, twinkle little star. 

The theme kinda came on its own, we still sing that song, but now together. 

Little Miss Ava, I know your sister may steal the show on a daily basis, but for your day, it will be ALL about you. This theme couldn't suit your sweet personality more and this song has so much meaning.  

I may not have to "wonder" about you anymore but I love learning more and more about you each and every day! :)

Twinkle, Twinkle




It saddens me to think how quickly this year has been passing, but I feel so blessed to have this baby to watch grow up next to her sister. I didn't think we would get to do this again. It has been AMAZING getting a second chance and getting to experience parenthood with Ava.
