Atley - 4/10/2018

Atley ate toasted whole wheat english muffin and two servings of grapes for breakfast.  For lunch she ate pork chops, whole wheat toast, nibble of roasted vegetables (potatoes, carrots, mushrooms, sweet potatoes), and ate a large serving of applesauce.  (I'm posting the following in everyone's journal.) Hudson was eating fine, but chattering non-stop through breakfast!  (Which he'd already been doing - jabbering from arrival to breakfast!)  If volume is any indication (which it is) then Hudson was happy to be back and everyone else was happy as well.  Atley is the queen of volume and even she had her ears plugged at breakfast.  WOW!  Haha!  I never cease to be amazed how ONE child can make the energy level and volume increase exponentially at an amazing rate!!  But that's what happens.  Welcome back Bubba!  :)  Everyone was excited and talking and yelling at the same time!  That's not too unusual, but Hudson expects me to hear and give feedback on everything he says!  hahaha!!

One of the highlights for all the kids every morning - besides Art, Story Time, puzzles, sign language, singing, jumping, or whatever - is everyone running down the hall to greet Baby Linnea after her nap.  They all go ahead of me and pound on her door loudly while laughing and squealing until I get there!  It's so cute and Linnea always has a huge grin when we enter!!

Here are a couple of pictures from this morning.  1. I've mentioned a couple of times how Atley really doesn't spend much time interacting in any way with Linnea.  She likes Linnea and is sweet to her, but pretty much just goes about doing what Atley does.  :)  However, it does occasionally happen and this picture tells the story.  Atley made several trips to collect all the stuffed animals and pile them around and on the Baby.  :)  2. In the 2nd picture the kids were wearing masks again and Hudson and Atley both had their's on backwards; and in Atley's case it was upside down as well!  Atley did lots of puzzles and helped assist with Nora's puzzle play as well.  Thank you Atley!

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...
