Atley - 12/3/2019

Atley ate waffle and ate two servings of grapes for breakfast.  For lunch she ate chicken, whole wheat tortilla, two servings of corn, and two servings of apple slices.  At breakfast Atley was telling Avi about "Daddy is at the desert!"  Avilene was confused!  Haha!  "What?!?"  Atley said, "Yes, pokey cactus."  Ha!  So I told Avi that Brad was in Arizona on a business trip, but they do have deserts and  cactus in Arizona.  I rarely step into their breakfast conversation, but I wanted Avi to know Atley's story had a basis of truth.  :)

First picture: Jumping on the igloo with Svea.  It was pretty cute because they were mostly trying to jump at the same time.  Just in case you're wondering; yes Svea is pretty small to be up there, but she's a fearless little thing and loves to do it!!  Following picture: Atley working hard at one of the more difficult puzzles again.

Next picture: We put some new "rulers" out (along with the tape measures) for the Preschool kids to play with.  I was showing them how to measure "short things" with a ruler and then also to use them in drawing.  So I made a rectangle, square, and two triangles for examples.  (See paper on table.)  Atley was making shapes on her paper, but just doing it freehand.  :)   Last picture: Got their little band going and it's heavy to drums.

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...
