Sophie and Avilene are the only two kids here today and then tomorrow everyone is going to be back. Sophie loves to read books and we had a stack of books ready for Story Time. We were on the couch and Avi came charging over with her arms raised high. I started to reach for her and she whirled around and took off. Ha! Silly girl. She teased me two or three more times before she wandered off to play with something else while Sophie and I had Story Time. :)
This first picture is from yesterday afternoon when Hudson and Avilene were playing in the legos drawer side-by-side. Nothing too special to say about this except I like how they do the parallel play all the time. (In this position they look about the same size.)
I like watching to see what the kids play with when they first arrive. Avi went for the tambourines first and then the shape sorter buckets. (Hey, there are lots of ways to play with these buckets. Ha!) I've taken LOTS of pictures with kids sticking their faces in these buckets and making noise. I think they like the echoing sounds that produces.
These next two pictures were right after breakfast and this is the first thing Sophie played with; hiding under the blankets and then peeking out at Avilene. In the 2nd picture here the blanket is draped over the igloo. Avi likes looking at that setup, but she's not about to go inside yet!! :)
Sophie had lots of food toys set up nicely and that was just too enticing for Avilene to resist!! She grabbed the carrot (you see in her left hand) and just took off running. Sophie chased her down, but Avi wasn't about to give it up. However, she did take it back to the yellow bench (Sophie's table) and set it back down. Sophie was trying to be bossy with Avi, but I guarantee you that doesn't work!! It kind of went like this; "Avi, come on.....Avi, come on.....AVI!!!!.....AVI!!!!......AVI!!!!" I told Sophie; "I think Avi has a mind of her own." :)
