Atley - 5/29/2018

Atley ate about half of breakfast: whole wheat english muffin and dried plums.  For lunch she ate several bites of chicken, a large serving of brown rice, several bites of stir fry vegetables, and maybe a bite of oranges.  At the lunch table Hudson looked around at everyone and asked; "Hey Gary! When are these guys gonna go to kindergarten??" Ha!  So I asked him when he was gonna go?  He said, "When I grow up."  :)

I hope all of you had a great Memorial Day weekend.  I also want to mention that Lauralea is covering for me today while I get my hearing aids adjusted at 4:15.

Hudson was at the bottom of the slide while the others were sliding down and he kept asking all of them; "Do you want me to catch you!?!"  Here's a picture of Hudson "catching" Atley.  She intentionally kind of pushed forward and ended up on top of him and Believe me he wanted out from under her!!  She kind of just bowled him over.  :)  That made me laugh!!  But he kept trying to "catch" them!!

Here's a picture of an activity that all four of the "older" kids were involved in.  Avilene is at the bottom of this pile of stuffed animals, pillows, and blankets.  (You can see her feet and a few inches of her legs coming out the far end of the pile.)  It's pretty amazing she'd let them pile all this stuff on her while she lay perfectly still!  It makes me slightly nervous and I keep a VERY close eye on this kind of activity.  (It wasn't packed tightly and no one got on top of the pile!)  Hudson kept saying, "Don't move Avi, don't move!"  Well she really wasn't moving!!  Then Hudson said he wanted a turn and the first thing he yelled  - "Don't cover my face!!"  Ha!  Then Atley had a turn, but she didn't lay still for more than a couple of items to be placed on her.  "I'm outta here!!"  :)

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...
