Practicing delayed gratification

I know everyone is anxious to see Ava using her new walker....I am too.

Two problems.

Problem 1: There is a certain canine living in the house that has a bad habit of chewing on whatever he finds laying around, as well as a little 4 yr. old girl living in the house that has a habit of taking the shoes off another certain little girl and leaving them laying around the floor. Unfortunately the super special and important foot support/inserts got left on the floor last week and a certain brown lab chewed them into smitherines. A replacement has been ordered, but meanwhile there won't be any attempts at walking, as Ava's feet are so SO low-arched, tiny and wobbly without them. I expect them to be here in a week or two.

Problem 2: I haven't bought a camera replacement as of yet. John did tell me he "had to make a quick stop" on our way home from soccer practice, he does love to surprise me (as you learned when he brought me home 2 cows and 10 chicks on Saturday). Could it be a camera? Maybe a goat or a pig? I shall know soon. Have I mentioned lately how much I love that guy?
