Atley - 06/25/2021

Atley ate oatmeal and three servings of baked cinnamon apples for breakfast. For lunch she ate a large serving of hamburger stew with meat, carrots, tomatoes, green beans, and potatoes. She ate two servings of fruit cocktail, and no whole wheat dinner roll.   

This first picture is leftover from yesterday afternoon and the story behind this is pretty cute. Nora asked, "What does the number 100 and the number 2000 look like." So I grabbed a piece of chalk and I said, "I'll show you what they look like." Nora and Atley were impressed. So I did 3 or 4 different numbers and said, "Here, I'll show you how old I am!" And I did the 66. Except the girls were standing on the opposite side; "no I am not 99." :) Then I said, "I'll show you how old Lauralea is!" Atley's response was hilarious: "Oh this is gonna be good because she's older than Gary!!" I roared. "Umm, no, 11 years younger!"

Last picture: Nora and Atley were talking and I'm frequently trying to eavesdrop; sometimes successfully and sometimes not. Here's what I heard this morning; The girls were talking about "Kyle, Jenny, and Owen" and from what I heard I would guess they are related to Nora. Atley said, "When Kyle, Jenny, and Owen were married I was born." Nora said, "OH MY GOSH!! I did not know that!!" LOL! 

I only have 3 kids today; the Hansen kids and Atley. Nora went to swim lesson this morning so Atley, Miles, and I went outside. Atley likes the race cars and played with the car ramp for awhile and then went hunting for bugs. She found a roly-poly bug and asked me the coolest question!! Atley asked, "Hey Gary, how do roly-poly babies grow; eggs or Mama has a belly?" I love that! So we asked Siri and found out that Momma roly-poly bugs can have a dozen eggs and the bugs are fully formed when hatched. They are so tiny they are barely visible. How did we survive before instant answers? We had to go find an encyclopedia and look it up! Dang those were some hard hard times. :) Last picture: Helping Gary open bag of paper towels that are individually wrapped. Thank you Atley. Good work.

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...
