Hudson's new favorite phrase: "Mine mine, no no Avi.... mine mine, no no Avi...." Avi really never wants what he has, but she loves taking something and simply watching his face for his reaction. She seems quite amused by his reactions! Lauralea and I have always considered this one of the most important aspects of our work; teaching some social skills!! :)
Avi loves interacting with Lauralea through the gate when Lauralea is eating breakfast and preparing to go to work. Lauralea said, "I think Avi likes me better out here than when I'm in there on the couch." I told her that's probably true - that way you're not a threat to grab or restrain Avi in any way. Ha! When Avi first saw Lauralea this morning she flopped face-first on the mattress and started squealing and kicking her legs. It was sooooo cute! (And funny! We were laughing hard!)
These first two pictures are left over from yesterday afternoon. Avi was walking around packing this pillow with her everywhere she went. And in the next picture she and Hudson were just playing in the igloo. Going in and out and laughing!
Avilene was also "showing-off" on the mattress for Lauralea and I. It was so funny! She was stomping her feet really fast and then trying to spin around. Her balance is pretty impressive for how young she is! This picture doesn't really show it, but Hudson was also bouncing up and down. Notice Avi has lost one of her boots. :)
I took this last picture while Avi was playing with another one of her favorite "toys." Spinning and rocking the swivel/rocker. That chair has provided so much entertainment for the children over the several years I've had it. (It's also Reid's favorite place to lounge.)
