Atley - 9/12/2018

Atley ate whole wheat toast and mangoes for breakfast.  For lunch she ate pulled pork, whole wheat roll, ate a large serving of peas, and no watermelon.

Yesterday afternoon we were outside and I was feeding Svea on the patio.  I spotted a big spider sprinting across the concrete and I was surprised by how fast it was going.  I said (just aloud to no one in particular), "Look at that sucker go!!"  Atley said, "Where'd that sucker go!?!"  Haha!

Yesterday Nora was reading (and singing) with the book; "Teddy Bear Teddy Bear, turn around, Teddy Bear Teddy Bear touch the ground...."  Except she kept saying, "Happy Bear, Happy Bear.."  And Atley kept yelling, "Teddy Bear!!"  And Nora would yell, "NO! Happy Bear!"  This happened several times and it was bugging Atley that Nora wouldn't sing it with the right words.  I began to wonder if Nora really thought that's the actual words.  Fast forward to this morning: Nora with the same book singing, "Teddy Bear Teddy Bear...."  :)  She totally knew.  I should have renamed my Daycare to "Little Turkeys!!"  :)

I use a toy to distract Linnea while I'm changing her diaper.  Recently I've been using some jingle bells and the last couple of days every time I say I'm gonna change Linnea's poopy diaper Atley runs and finds some jingle bells for me.  Thanks Atley! That's actually very helpful!!

Here are some pictures from this morning; Atley making some designs with the "whatever they are called!"  Similar to what we called "tinker toys."  2nd Picture; giving Avi rides in the chair with Avi saying, "Faster faster faster!!"  3rd picture; Making Nora laugh.  Last picture; doing some preschool trays with Lauralea.

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...
