Atley - 11/15/2017

Atley ate bites of whole wheat toast and ate lots of grapes for breakfast.  For lunch she had bites of pork roast, ate whole grain tortilla, no vegetables (carrots, potatoes, sweet potatoes), or fruit salad.  This following situation did NOT faze Atley in the least, but I'm still going to post it so you get a feel what breakfast time was like!!  It was a little chaotic during breakfast time; especially for Nora.  We had a situation with the sump pump in the basement yesterday and the plumber was scheduled to be here at 8:00 this morning.  Well of course he showed up about 45 minutes late - about the same time as Hudson, Avi, and Nora.  Thank goodness it was a quick fix (like I thought it might be) and he was done by 9:20 while we were still eating breakfast.  So what was the problem you ask!?  Well Nora saw his face! Yikes!  Poor Nora was screaming because I was not in the lunch room and she couldn't see me.  Baby Linnea had fallen asleep in the Baby chair and I was putting her sleeper on her so she could go to bed and she was crying.  Poor Linnea.  "Sorry," I said to the plumber,  "It's not usually like this!  (Pause) Sometimes it's worse!"  (Humor!)  I'm sure he'll never try to get his child into Little Treasures!  Ha!

It was simply WONDERFUL to see Atley this morning.  She slipped right back into Little Treasures like she'd never been gone!  :)  I love that!  She was having a grand time playing and exploring with everything.  Not only was she gone for over a week, but we also did a toy exchange while she was gone so she was a busy girl!  She was here for almost 45 minutes before Hudson arrived and she yelled, "Bubba!" as soon as he came in!  She was a happy camper all morning!!

Here are some pictures from this morning's activities: the song on the iPod was "If you're Happy and You Know It...clap your hands!"  Atley immediately started clapping.  Then it was ....."happy and you know it stomp your feet."  That was the verse when I took the picture.  Avi and Atley were stomping their feet!!  Next two pictures: Atley filling a bucket and playing drums with Hudson!!

They were all excited about the new baby so I asked if they wanted to see Linnea on the monitor!!  "YEAH!!"  Here's a picture of that occasion!  :) Not really what they had in mind for "seeing the baby," but it's the best we could do at the moment!  So the last picture shows the baby hanging out with her new friends!  Atley and Avi had just left the gate and it was cute to see all 4 "older" kids looking at the baby, but my camera was on the changing table.

Atley ate half of cheerios and half of banana for breakfast.  For lunch she ate ground beef, whole wheat pita bread, ate avocado, ate olives, no tomato, and bite of cantaloupe. Atley was very thrilled to have someone laughing at her shenanigans and she was making Nora laugh within the first minute of arrival.  (Momma Megan got to witness some of their joyful interactions in the short time she was here!)  First picture: Those two are waving at Momma Megan.  When they were waiting for Megan to drive around the corner Atley was intentionally "bonking" her forehead on the window and Nora was cracking up!!  Haha!  Welcome back Nora. Then Atley was showing Nora her "bruised" elbow.  (I could see nothing that even resembled a bruise!)  Atley said, "I got an owie on here!!"  Nora said, "OW!"  Haha!  Which suited Atley perfectly; that's what she wanted to hear!! Here are a couple more pictures from Atley's morning.  She was doin...

Atley ate two servings of blueberry bagel and three servings of grapes for breakfast. For lunch she ate shrimp, two servings of brown rice soaked in black raspberry juice, ate broccoli, and ate black raspberries.   Apparently Atley has been having issues with Alexa lately!! Early this morning Atley said, "Alexa is still mad at me!" That made me laugh hard. Ok, it's time to reboot Alexa and that changed her attitude. :) First picture: Nora is not here today, but Atley still played at the Doll House. Well technically not AT the Doll House, but with Doll House accessories. :) In the second picture she made a "restaurant" with the legos. She has 2 little people facing each other and said they were "having a staring contest!" Haha. She made me laugh hard again! Third picture; Doing Animal Workout again and this time she's a "Dragon" in case you don't recognize the "dragon pose." :) Next picture; The kids were all lined up at the ...

Atley ate whole wheat toast and three servings of mangoes for breakfast. For lunch she ate a large serving of ground beef with marinara sauce on top of a large serving of whole wheat spaghetti noodles - then two more large servings of spaghetti noodles, ate two servings of cauliflower, and three servings of fruit salad. Lunch conversation was primarily Avi giving Atley some tips on how to trick the parents. Haha. Here's a sample: "So ask your Dad to pick you up and he'll probably say yes." (Haha) "Then go ask your Mom to pick you up. And they'll both come to pick you up!!" And other variations on this theme.  Atley got Avi's water bottle for Avi to have a drink at Avi's request. Silence. I said, "Tell Atley thank you." Avi said, "Thank you" and Atley said, "Welcome." Avi said, "Why do you say welcome and not you're welcome?" Then Avi expanded on her point; "That's like saying welcome to the pal...
