Avi - 11/14/2016

Avi's first Blog!  Some of us are excited - right Molly?!?  Here's the basic way this works.  I take a few notes on each child in the morning and then at nap time I do their Blog.  These Journals are usually posted somewhere between 12:30 (at the earliest) and 2:30 (at the latest).  So obviously they only pertain to the child's morning.  I'll occasionally post something from the previous afternoon as well.  The outline is simple; first what they have eaten in the morning and then two or three things about their day.  I almost always do a picture as well.  Pictures bring the activities to life and they make my job of journaling much easier.  As we all know Avilene is a busy little girl and that makes it much easier to find something to write about!  This is a joy for me and I LOVE having her in my Childcare Program.

Avilene ate chex cereal and mixed fruit for breakfast.  For lunch she ate pulled pork, bread, beets, and drank 6 ounces this morning.

We did a toy, book, and puzzle exchange this morning so all the kids were very engaged exploring all the "new" things.  It's been 4 months since they've seen this toy set so to the youngest ones these toys are brand new.  :)  I took this picture when Avi was taking her first piano lesson!

Avi was bobbing her head frontwards and backwards being pretty cheesy!!  Even though she's the only one in these next two pictures on the mattress the other kids were all around playing there as well.  She was being silly and pretty proud of herself.

I think I mentioned this to Momma Molly last week, but I use the lawn and the mattress as a gauge to say a child is a "walker."  Avi has mastered walking!!  As you can see in the picture she's walking across the mattress and that's not easy when others are bouncing on it.  And last Friday she was  walking all over the yard and dealing with the bumps and unevenness of it all!  Nice job Avilene!
