Avi - 7/31/2017

Avilene ate whole grain chex cereal and lots of peaches for breakfast.  She said, "More pears Gary."  Then she heard someone say "peaches" and she changed it to "more peaches."  I LOVE her cute soft little voice.  It's not really congruent with her relentless approach to life, but it's still cute!!  Ha!!  For lunch she ate hamburger on bun, maybe a bite of the lettuce and tomato, bites of avocado, and ate her oranges.

Sophie came today and announced that as a 3 year old (birthday yesterday) she could now jump off the igloo.  And she did!  Didn't really surprised me, but Avilene was SO determined that she needed to get on top of that igloo and jump too!!  Haha!  Uhhh...sorry Avilene, when you can climb up there by yourself then you can jump off!!  Here....I'll post a picture of Sophie so you can see!  Avilene was trying to loop her leg over the top of the igloo entrance.  :)  I told Avilene she needed to start by jumping off the blue balance beam first!  (Exact same reaction from Hudson too!  And he hasn't jumped off the blue balance beam yet either.)

We did a toy, book, and puzzle exchange and the kids had lots of fun with everything.  We have these "viewfinders" (I don't know what they're called) with different animal pictures that you hold up to your eye.  She saw Reid using one and he saw a "giraffe."  So I was holding it up to her eye and showing her different animals.  I'm not sure that she ever saw any animal, BUT when I asked her what she saw, every animal was "giraffe!!"  Haha!  Here are some pictures from this morning: She and Hudson were wearing some dress-up hats.  And a couple of pictures from outside play.  We also chased bubbles outside.
