She hasn't even entered pre-school and already a Santa Rosa toddler is a Reality TV Sensation and will appear in People Magazine.
Her dad says she's going to be be a star, but is she starting out too soon?
Most little girls love to play dress up and dream of being a princess, but this little girl is already making her dreams come true and started before she could talk.
Ava Perez says, "I feel happy when I win."
Now 3-years-old now and surrounded by just a few of her pageant prizes.
Ava Perez is no stranger to the glitz and glamour, in fact, she and her dad David have been featured on national television shows such as The Learning Channel's "Toddlers & Tiaras".
"They noticed her at one contest she went to and from then on TLC was really interested in getting to know her and our family a lot more," the girl's proud father said.
Ava, a rising star in Reality TV, and her father right there alongside her are getting publicity that hasn't always been great because of her age.
"Just like they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so is perversion," he said. "I don't put my kids out there to be exploited. Those people that have those bad thoughts are the people who are exploiting these children."
Ava just seems to be having a good time. We asked her what she likes most about pageants and the 3-year-old responded, “Um, Dance.”
He dad says he thinks that if you're going to nurture any kind of talent whether it be sports or fine arts, education, it should be done at a young age.
“That would be like me saying she's too young to learn how to read," he said.
Ava's already begun that chapter in her life.
David says when Ava is not up to competing they drop everything and head home.
Her little sister is following in her footsteps already having won a pageant at 3-months-old.
