Atley - 4/25/2019

Atley ate two servings of waffle and ate fruit salad for breakfast.  For lunch she ate bites of shepherd's pie with meat, green beans, carrots, and potatoes.  She ate bites of whole wheat tortillas and ate her cherries.

Someone from the Missoulian Paper had thrown a complimentary paper onto our driveway (I'm already subscribed to the e-edition!) and Atley spotted it.  She said, "There's news laying out there."  Haha!  Isn't that cute!?  Love it.

First picture:  I'd just finished Linnea's hair when Atley arrived and it was still damp from me spraying water on it, so I made her ponytail sticking straight up!  (It's long, right!!??)  Atley thought that was hilarious and said, "Do it again!" (When it would start to fall over.)

Next picture: Atley was the one who initiated the food play and she's not even in the picture!  Because she's off getting more food.  Atley had said, "It's snack time!!"  Avi said, "What are we having?!?"  And then Nora joined them too.  Linnea and Svea were already at the couch so they were part of the meal by default!  :)

Last Picture:  They were asking to play the same game we've done all week so I introduced another game which requires several directions and taking turns.  First they identify what I've read off the card and they have to find it with the clues being Shapes, Colors, or People.  Then we decide if they use their hand, foot, knee, elbow, or head and touch the ones we select!  It's a bit of a stretch for these early 3 year olds, but they were starting to catch on!  Atley was touching two pictures - one with her knee and one with her elbow.  Good job following directions Atley.
