Atley - 03/02/2021

Atley ate two servings of blueberry bagel and ate grapes for breakfast. For lunch she ate shrimp, two servings of brown rice, ate broccoli, and two servings of raspberries.  

First picture: We did an experiment with some raw eggs that have been soaking in vinegar since Science on Thursday. We rubbed the shell (more like skin now) off and you could see the yolk moving around inside. The experiment: They feel rubbery, but will they bounce? Yes, if you hold them about 6 - 8 inches above the table like Lauralea is doing in the picture. Haha. It's funny because the membrane around the outside is very thin. Full disclosure; If you hold it twice that high it will break! Haha. 

Next picture: Atley and Avi are cleaning the table after doing some art. There were lots of colors on the table from the washable markers. However the cool part about this; I never asked them to clean it. Avi went into the bathroom and came back with a wet paper towel and got right to work and Atley joined her. Then Atley also took the Preschool garbage can and emptied it into the kitchen garbage. So proud of how they did this on their own initiative! 

Next picture: This is another picture from that same artist I mentioned yesterday. A stone hedge made of ice cream sandwiches. Haha. And Atley's drawing of them. Last picture: What's more fun than a toothless selfie!?! Haha. You cutie!! I was doing selfies with Avi and Atley stuck her head in there for a perfect shot.

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...
