Atley - 05/21/2021

Atley ate three large servings of whole grain cream of wheat cereal and ate dried plums for breakfast. For lunch she ate chicken, brown rice, broccoli, and ate pineapple. Because of Avi frequently mentioning her love of "cream of wheat" now Atley and Nora are chanting the same thing and eating more than one serving. And so did Callahan. :) I made a total of 8 servings for breakfast and they ate it all. 

This first picture is left over from yesterday afternoon and the kids are loving the new puzzles. 

One thing I've been noticing is the length of time the older girls are spending on one activity or some of the same type of activities. For example you'll see in today's Blog 3 Board Games. They spent all morning on these 3 games and they were totally engaged. They are doing well meeting my expectations of taking turns and encouraging one anther. Also I let them struggle with some conflict and try to work it out for themselves unless it's obvious they need quick intervention. 

Next picture: Avi was leading the next two games - my role when I'm involved - passing out the cards in the first picture and spinning the wheel and calling out the answers in "Farmyard Bingo." Notice how Nora is raising her hand; "I have a blue horse!" Last picture: Playing the new Disney Memory Game. Again I like Nora's body language; "Dang, I need to remember where I just saw that one!!" :) This is the "Princess Edition," but thankfully it has many more characters as well so Avi was happy about that. :) Actually there are lots of characters!! 36 matches to be exact. 78 pieces.

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...
