Atley - 12/11/2019

Atley ate most of whole wheat toast and half of grapes for breakfast.  For lunch she ate pork roast, whole wheat tortillas, bites of sweet potatoes, and ate fruit salad.

Atley and Avi are at the age where they occasionally make "competition" out of everything.  "I win! I win!"  This morning Atley was running across the room and told Avi, "Do NOT follow me."  Then Atley made it to the window and said, "You lose."  Geez.  Silly kids.  Well that's one way to ensure you "win" - just eliminate the competition.  Side note: At this age I don't really encourage or discourage competition.  They are learning it somewhere (even though they really don't understand it fully) and I just work on their social/emotional skills; treating each other with fairness and kindness.

This first picture is left over from yesterday afternoon and Atley was styling with these comfy pants from the dress-up rack.  :)  Today I kept asking her why she wasn't wearing her "shiny" pants.  :)

Next picture;  Atley made her birthday cake and then was singing,  "Happy birthday to ME, happy birthday to ME..."  Haha.  Linnea was watching all of this and asked, "Can I have some cake?"  Atley said, "No, I'm gonna eat it all!"  Haha!  Last picture: Avi and Atley playing the "Sequence Game" again.  Notice how Atley is slipping her arm under Avi's arm to select another card off the stack while Avi is still in the middle of her turn.  :)

Atley ate half of cheerios and half of banana for breakfast.  For lunch she ate ground beef, whole wheat pita bread, ate avocado, ate olives, no tomato, and bite of cantaloupe. Atley was very thrilled to have someone laughing at her shenanigans and she was making Nora laugh within the first minute of arrival.  (Momma Megan got to witness some of their joyful interactions in the short time she was here!)  First picture: Those two are waving at Momma Megan.  When they were waiting for Megan to drive around the corner Atley was intentionally "bonking" her forehead on the window and Nora was cracking up!!  Haha!  Welcome back Nora. Then Atley was showing Nora her "bruised" elbow.  (I could see nothing that even resembled a bruise!)  Atley said, "I got an owie on here!!"  Nora said, "OW!"  Haha!  Which suited Atley perfectly; that's what she wanted to hear!! Here are a couple more pictures from Atley's morning.  She was doin...

Atley ate two servings of blueberry bagel and three servings of grapes for breakfast. For lunch she ate shrimp, two servings of brown rice soaked in black raspberry juice, ate broccoli, and ate black raspberries.   Apparently Atley has been having issues with Alexa lately!! Early this morning Atley said, "Alexa is still mad at me!" That made me laugh hard. Ok, it's time to reboot Alexa and that changed her attitude. :) First picture: Nora is not here today, but Atley still played at the Doll House. Well technically not AT the Doll House, but with Doll House accessories. :) In the second picture she made a "restaurant" with the legos. She has 2 little people facing each other and said they were "having a staring contest!" Haha. She made me laugh hard again! Third picture; Doing Animal Workout again and this time she's a "Dragon" in case you don't recognize the "dragon pose." :) Next picture; The kids were all lined up at the ...

Atley ate whole wheat toast and three servings of mangoes for breakfast. For lunch she ate a large serving of ground beef with marinara sauce on top of a large serving of whole wheat spaghetti noodles - then two more large servings of spaghetti noodles, ate two servings of cauliflower, and three servings of fruit salad. Lunch conversation was primarily Avi giving Atley some tips on how to trick the parents. Haha. Here's a sample: "So ask your Dad to pick you up and he'll probably say yes." (Haha) "Then go ask your Mom to pick you up. And they'll both come to pick you up!!" And other variations on this theme.  Atley got Avi's water bottle for Avi to have a drink at Avi's request. Silence. I said, "Tell Atley thank you." Avi said, "Thank you" and Atley said, "Welcome." Avi said, "Why do you say welcome and not you're welcome?" Then Avi expanded on her point; "That's like saying welcome to the pal...
