Atley - 12/18/2017

Atley ate chex cereal and peaches for breakfast.  For lunch she ate ground beef, whole wheat hamburger bun, several bites of lettuce and tomatoes, ate avocado, and no oranges.

Atley was playing on one side of the room with Nora.  Avi and Hudson were on the other side of the room.  The two groups were out-of-sight of each other.  Atley heard Avi starting to cry and she IMMEDIATELY yelled, "BUBBA!!"  (With a very accusatory tone!)  And went running over to check it out!  She was being protective of her friend Avi!    Five minutes later it was a repeat scenario.  I'd never heard or seen Atley do that before.  Super cute!  (By the way, Atley was right both times!!  Bubba!!  Be gentle to your friend Avi!!)

The kids spotted the Mailman across the street at the mailboxes.  He'd gotten out of his little van to rearrange some mail and Avi said, "Mailman has snow boots!!"  The kids finally got his attention by banging on the window - thanks to Atley's hard and persistent banging -  and he waved at the kids as he drove away.

We did a toy, book, and puzzle exchange this weekend and the kids had lots of fun exploring all the toys.  Like I've mentioned many times we rarely do anything extra (except read lots of the new books) on toy exchange Monday!  In the picture below Atley emptied the book rack first thing!  Doesn't matter if it's toy exchange or not that's the first order of business!  :)  In the last picture Atley and Avi were having fun peeking at each other through one of the holes!

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...
