Atley - 4/8/2020

Atley had two servings of French toast and ate strawberries for breakfast.  For lunch she ate bites of "Whole 30 Chili" with meat, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, and tomato sauce.  She ate whole wheat dinner roll, and tropical fruit.  At lunch Avi informed Atley; "I'm gonna sleep with my necklace on."  Atley said, "I'm ok with that."  :)  When Atley first walked in she said, "Hey Gary! There's a GOOD smell in the kitchen!"  :)  Yup, that chili has been and will be in the crock pot all morning.  :)

At breakfast and lunch the table kids (Nora is back - and so is Miles) started saying, "Me too, me too." That led to "me 3, me 4, me 5,......"  They were taking turns too and doing a good job of counting.  At lunch they got it turned around and Svea pitched in with this comment; "No no!! Avi 7."  Haha.

First picture;  This picture was very shortly after Nora's arrival and this was an important meeting for Avi, Nora, and Atley.  Trying to establish the way things are gonna go today!!  :)  It was "toy exchange Monday" for Nora.  She was yelling at Avi saying, "Share that! Share that! Share that!" Which if you translate literally means, "give it to me!!"  Haha.

All three days this week Atley has been saying, "Alexa! Play Christmas Songs."  Haha.  She said, "This one is Papa's favorite."  One was playing and Nora said, "Hey, I got that book for Christmas." It was "12 Days of Christmas."

Next picture; Atley has been playing under the legos table everyday since about last Wednesday.  (See her legs?)  Following picture: Three big girls building with the legos.  Last picture: Doing the Alphabet activity with Nora.

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...
