Atley - 1/25/2019
Atley ate oatmeal and dried cranberries for breakfast. For lunch she ate tilapia, whole wheat elbow noodles, no green beans, and ate her applesauce. At the breakfast table Atley was coughing and Nora (very sweetly) asked; "Are you ok Atley?" No answer. Again; "Are you ok Atley?" No answer. Avi said, "She's ok." (ha!) Nora; "Are you ok Atley?" Again Avi answered, but this time said, "She's not ok." Nora said, "Gary!! Atley not talk to me!!" Me: "Atley, please answer Nora. We answer when someone talks to us." (I guess I was caught up in listening and being entertained by the entire exchange!!) Haha!
This first picture cracks me up! Atley has been doing lots of this "eyes closed" look lately and it amuses me! The music was playing here so we'll just assume she was feeling the music! Ha! She actually may have been because Music has been her language for a long time. There is something about music, children, memory and language that is fascinating. For example; We were listening to kids songs on the iPod and in the middle of one song Avi said, "Nora, your song is coming next!" Sure enough, next song "Nora Blue!" That was impressive! I only have 250 songs on there, but when it's playing in the background I guess it gets burned into our brains. :)
Next picture: Doing an activity that involves "balance." This is one that Atley enjoys and plays with it frequently when it's out.
Last picture: These three were reading books in the preschool room and Atley and Nora were again singing SO loud and again Avi acts as if she doesn't hear them. And she probably doesn't. She's no doubt conditioned herself to tune them out!! Ha! Every book Nora would pick up she'd ask Atley; "What's this one?" And Atley would give the exact same answer every time; "Way up in the Arctic." And they'd both start singing loudly again. (I have ones about the Arctic, Desert, Garden, Ocean, and more. Probably 6 in all and they use the same tune.)
