Atley - 12/7/2017

Atley ate most of whole wheat english muffin and a bite of oranges for breakfast.  For lunch she ate everything; ground beef, whole wheat elbow noodles, peas, and applesauce.

Here's a picture of the Birthday Girl in her Birthday dress!!  So cute.  (She was on the balance beam getting ready to jump!)  Happy Birthday to sweet Atley.  Hard to believe how fast it all goes!  Even though I didn't have an infant opening when she was a newborn I am so thankful to have her in my program now!  She is a complete joy, fun-loving, and a very unique special little girl.  I sure love Atley and I have so much fun taking care of her!

Here's a picture of Atley talking to Baby Linnea.  All the kids love the new baby and it's so sweet. The baby managed to grasp Nora's sleeve.  And of course a baby has a tight grip!  Nora kind of struggled to pull away and it totally surprised her.  Ha!  When I put the baby down for her morning nap Atley started singing, "night night Linnea" right on tune.  Music is definitely Atley's language!!

We read Stories, did some Christmas stickers at art time, and I took this picture of Atley and Avi building with the legos.  They eventually had these legos scattered everywhere and when I was feeding the baby her bottle I asked these girls to pick up a few of them.  Atley and Avi stayed on task and picked up every single legos and them all back in the drawer.  Wow!  Impressed me!!  A couple of times Atley missed the drawer - she was throwing from point-blank range!  However, what she lacks in accuracy she makes up for in velocity!  The girl has a strong arm!!  Haha!

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...
