The painting of Ava at the Rock of Cashel in Ireland is finished. This painting's quiet moment is a rarity in Ava's life.
Ava is now three years old and has recently moved to Sydney, Australia. While she still declares herself "a Boston girl," her Boston accent is turning to an Aussie one. No more talk about "boids or Hahvid." Her Australian grandmother writes that Ava "has grown in height and language skills, gathering enormous speed and can gallop with the pony tail flying out the back."
When I last spoke with Ava on Skype, she was wearing her pink and white polka-dotted bathing suit and jumping up and down on the bed while we talked. She was a pink and white polka-dotted blur. This is what life is like when you're three.
