Atley - 7/5/2018

Atley ate most of whole wheat bagel and two servings of peaches for breakfast.  For lunch she ate hamburger and sausage pizza with whole wheat pizza crust, tomato sauce, peppers, olives, and pineapple.  She had pineapple on the side and ate about half of it too.

Everyone was moving slow this morning!  Only two kids were here by breakfast time (9:00) and one of those (Linnea) was already taking a morning nap!  :)  So all things considered Atley did just fine this morning.  It took awhile for her to get awake enough to even want to play so I just told her she was welcome to lay on her nap mat if she wanted too!  You bet!!  :)  She probably lay there for 10 - 15 minutes and then was ready to start her day.

These next two pictures were taken shortly after Atley got up from her nap mat.  She didn't even ask where the other kids were; she just had fun playing and reading books.  She also watched the neighbor move his fishing boat around and when he drove off she said, "Hey, come back."  :)  Then she watched dump truck, street sweeper, and front-end loader.  We couldn't actually see them working on the road, but we can see the sign and the work machines some of the time.

Hudson had a 9:00 Doctor appointment and didn't get here until about 10:30.  He had a sticker on his shirt from the Dr's office and Atley said, "That a sticker!"  Hudson said, "No! just garbage!"  Haha! So Atley repeated; "That a sticker!" Same answer; "No! Just garbage!"  Three or four times back-n-forth and Atley finally said, "Just garbage."  Ha!  Hudson said, "Yes! Just garbage!"  He was pretty pleased with himself that he had convinced her it was garbage.  Goofy kids.

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...
