Atley - 4/4/2019

Atley ate French toast and dried plums for breakfast.  For lunch she ate bites of ground beef with marinara sauce over whole wheat spaghetti noodles, ate cauliflower, and half of fruit salad.

This first picture is from yesterday afternoon when Reid was here and he'll be here again today.  He was showing off his handiwork (displayed on his legs) to his mesmerized and adoring viewers; Avi, Nora, and Atley.  :)  He called these "melty beads."  So I looked on amazon and sure enough there they are.  (Little plastic beads and you can make all kinds of shapes and designs, then "melt" them together with an iron.  The thought of Reid with an iron scares me!!)  Reid has always made me laugh and here's a zinger from yesterday that you may like - even though it doesn't have anything to do with the little kids.  As soon as he arrived he said, "I bet you be wondering why I'm wearing so much neon!!"  No, I bet I not be wondering!!  I didn't notice.  Ha!  He said, "It's Neon Day at school!  So much neon it was hurting my eyes!!"  Ha!

Next picture: Avi said, "Hey Atley, you wanna make something with the pillow!?"  THEN, she didn't want Atley to touch it!!  Uhh...that's not acceptable, you invited your friend to join you so she gets to touch it too!  Avi totally accepted that with a good attitude and it was all fine.

Last two pictures - Atley and Nora had just got this tray out and were working on sorting these different shapes.  And in the last picture Atley was reading her book while Nora was scrutinizing every mark that Avi was making in the erasable book.  Nora said, "Avi not following the lines Gary, Avi not following the lines!!"  Haha!  It's ok Nora.  Here's what I'm thinking, but didn't say: "I watched you do it yesterday Nora and guess what!?!?"  The same result.  :)

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...
