Atley - 12/31/2020

Atley ate two servings of French toast and ate dried plums for breakfast.  For lunch she ate pulled pork, half of whole wheat toast, ate peas, and two bites of strawberries/mangoes.  Lauralea was being silly at Lunch and pretending to cry; she's actually pretty good at it.  They were all laughing, Avi was laughing hard, and Svea said, "Can you cry again!?!"  :)  Also at Lunch Atley told Svea; "I'm sorry I can't go to your Birthday Svea." 



Today's theme was "Water."  And we did lots of activities and experiments with water; at least 6.  Here are some examples;  First picture is "Capillary Action" (Haha) and it's an experiment that takes time so the kids are watching the changes through the day.  Those are folded paper towels connecting the bottles together.  Second picture: "Surface Tension." The alcohol pushes the water away.  (It's rubbing alcohol in case someone thinks I'm dipping into my stash. I will not waste that on Science Experiments! Ha)  

Next two pictures:  We did lots of "Predicting" today.  The kids LOVED this activity!!  Will it SINK or will it FLOAT?  We even did a chart that you see in the following picture and kept track of their guesses. We had almost 25 items.  It was so much fun.  In the next picture the Pomegranate floated!!  Last picture;  Basically more of the same, but we were using some aluminum foil (which floated) and made a "boat."  Then we used pennies (which sank) and guessed how many pennies it would take to "Sink our boat."  How many do you think!?!  You gave up!?  Ok it was 40 Pennies.

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...
