Atley - 06/29/2021

Atley ate half of her waffle and ate grapes for breakfast. For lunch she ate two servings of chicken, ate whole wheat tortillas, ate corn, and two servings of baked cinnamon apples.  

First picture is left over from yesterday. Atley was reading to Miles while they were sitting on the blue balance beam. Miles, of course, kept trying to turn pages as you can see. Another note about Miles and Atley: He was swatting at Atley and I said, "Be gentle; no hitting." Atley said, "Oh he can hit me if he wants." Well I'm sure your intentions are good Atley. but NO he can't hit anyone, including you, at Little Treasures. :) 

Next picture: This was pretty cute and sweet; Atley told Nora she could this baby and take it home. Atley said, "I gave Nora this doll because I don't like dolls anymore." (She really never did like them here.) Nora was thrilled. In the following picture Atley was playing a "matching game" with Svea. I heard Atley say, "That is NOT how the game goes." So I quickly backed away!! :) I like for them to try to figure things out for themselves without my involvement unless it escalates. This did not escalate. :)

Next picture: There is nothing that attracts a crowd at Childcare like a bug trying to find it's way across the patio. Haha. I actually ended up tossing this roly-poly into the grass because 5 kids were all claiming ownership and no compromise was in sight. Last picture: They wanted to do the "painting with water" activity again this morning. So it became a "clean the toys" activity too. Child labor laws?!? :)
