Atley - 10/2/2017

Atley ate bites of breakfast: bran cereal and raisins.  For lunch: from chicken salad she ate bites of chicken, ate olives, no tomatoes, cucumber, or peppers.  She ate bites of pita bread and all her pears.

We did a toy, book, and puzzle exchange this weekend and the kids were so engaged all morning!  Atley played with some of everything - especially the stuffed animals (mostly rabbits in this set), the little people and little houses (see picture below), pop-up toys, xylophones, and the "iPods!" ( Or a very cheap imitation that holds about 6 songs!  Haha!!

Atley had a stuffed rabbit and was going around the room "greeting" all the other children with the rabbit.  (See the next 3 pictures!!)  First Hudson, then Avi, and Nora!  Nobody was real thrilled with the greeting, but Atley was pretty quick about moving on to the next person!!  Ha!!  Then Avilene decided to try it and I put a picture on her Blog of her doing the same thing to Hudson - so he got it twice and he wasn't too happy about it!!
 

Thanks to Atley, who absolutely LOVES to be LOUD (and I'm not exaggerating), the kids found the back side of the xylophones to be way more fun than the front side!  Ha!  If you look closely at the picture below you can see there is an oval-shaped section that has "ribs" across it.  They would run their sticks across those ribs and it's pretty noisy!!  Atley started this and soon Avi and Nora were doing it too!  :)

Atley ate whole wheat bagel and peaches for breakfast.  For lunch she ate hamburger pizza with whole wheat crust, tomato sauce, olives, peppers, mushrooms, and pineapple. This isn't just about Atley, but I think you'll like it.  At the breakfast table when everyone was just about done eating Avilene started whipping her head side-to-side really fast and furious - just being a goof and showing-off!  Nora and Atley were laughing hard of course and started doing the same thing, squealing louder every passing second!  I told Avi, "Hold your head still please."  Hudson never misses an opportunity to add his two cents worth, and he followed with this; "Or your ponytail will fall out!"  haha!  (The fact that Avi didn't have a ponytail was apparently irrelevant!) So we're hearing new words every day from Atley!  Very cool.  This morning shortly after she arrived she was playing in front of the igloo and randomly said, "tiger." What!?!  Surpr...

Atley ate whole wheat English muffin and mandarin oranges for breakfast.  For lunch she ate two servings of ground beef, two servings of whole wheat elbow noodles, ate peas, and applesauce. I'm not exactly sure what brought about the conversation about our "heart," but Atley informed everyone "I know when your heart breaks." Oh really, when is that? "When you're NOT in love." Then after a few moments she added; "When you die." :) Today was Science with Lauralea and the kids were super excited as always. The theme was "our tongue" and "taste buds." Lots of tasting today! As you can see in the first picture we had a partially completed (ha) diagram of the tongue and we briefly told the kids where their taste buds are located. So we started by having them plug their nose and experimented with them deciding if they could taste better with their nose plugged or unplugged. Then we moved on to lots of tasting. "Is it sw...

Atley ate malt-o-meal cereal and a bite of dried plums for breakfast.  For lunch she ate a bite or two of "beef kabobs" (beef, peppers, zucchini, mushrooms), ate whole wheat toast, and pineapple. This first picture is from yesterday afternoon.  Atley was squatted down in the middle of the sidewalk watching school kids walk home.  Avilene saw her squatting there and ran to join her.  Not too much to say about this picture except for the fact I think it's adorable!! In this next picture Hudson was holding a mirror in front of Atley's face and he said, "This is Atley."  Ha!  These are some new mirrors I got; one side magnifies and the other side distorts!  (Hey!  Just trying to start them off with a good self-image! Ha!) There were several robins in the yard when I took these last two pictures.  The robin in the first picture hopped down to the ground and Hudson said, "He fell off!"  Haha!  Robins are one of the more "calm...
