Atley - 10/07/2020

Atley ate whole wheat toast and mangoes for breakfast.  For lunch: So I forgot to make the whole wheat spaghetti noodles before lunch - dang it - so we'll have those noodles tomorrow and we had tomorrow's bread today.  And it was whole wheat bread and I toasted it.  Haha.  They all like toast so it's not a big deal.  As long as the Food Monitor (or Lauralea) doesn't find out I served the same thing twice in the same day and scold me!!  Haha.  Atley ate ground beef with marinara sauce, ate whole wheat toast, cauliflower, and two servings of fruit salad.  

Atley asked me the sweetest question;  "Gary, do you miss Gideon?"  Yes I sure do.  She said, "But you have us here."  That was very sweet.  And I love having all you kids here Atley, but I still like it when Gideon's here too!!  His Mom said he can't come and stay with me.  Not yet anyhow.  Haha.  

Have fun on your trip Atley and mostly have a blast with Nana and Papa, cousins, and any other family you get to be with.  Nana and Papa:  Enjoy Atley!!  I know you will.  :)  She is getting SO big.  Seems like just yesterday she was starting at Little Treasures.  

Atley spent a large portion of her morning doing art work.  I love how hard the Preschool kids are working at their art and the stories they tell about what they're drawing.  In the second picture - Atley brought this out to the Daycare Room to show me and said, "Gary, look at my airplane."  Very cool.  Nice work with your scissors Atley.  

Last picture:  As soon as Avi and Nora saw Atley's airplane they wanted her to make them one too!!  Atley said, "All my friends want me to build an airplane!!"  This age group can ALWAYS find something to argue about.  If you can look at this picture and can guess what they're arguing about you win the grand prize for October.  (The prize has not yet been determined, but I'm sure it will be grand!!)  The problem here;  The duplication of the airplane apparently could only be made in ONE color: PINK.  Now in the art cabinet directly beside Atley there are multiple choices of color.  Avi was adamant; "You HAVE to build me an airplane in the color I ask you to."  Nope, that's not happening.  :)  As you already know we work more on social skills and problem solving than anything else.  :)

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...
