Avi - 8/14/2017

Avilene ate kix cereal and mixed fruit for breakfast.  For lunch she ate bites of turkey burger, ate hamburger bun, no lettuce or tomatoes, ate avocado, and ate cherries.  At breakfast time Avi said, "Hi Gary" 3 or 4 times.  It was so cute.  Last week she was doing that outside; coming up to me randomly saying, "Hi Gary."  Then when I was putting her in the highchair at Lunch time she was saying, "nick nack paddy whack."  That's a book we read here and we probably read it last week.  ("Give the Dog a Bone.)

Our morning was somewhat interrupted when the County Health Nurse came to check my records and see if I had all the children's immunization records up to date.  Everything was good so thank you parents for remembering to bring your child's records after their regularly scheduled immunizations.  The Nurse was preparing to leave when the Food Program Sponsor also made a bi-annual visit to make sure all those records were in order as well!  Two weeks ago the State Licensor from DPHHS was here doing a yearly inspection!!  No deficiencies from any of them so all is good!!  :)  It's not a huge deal if they find something wrong; I just have to come up with a correction plan.  Unless it's something serious of course!!  (For example, I'm not allowed to store the nap mats together and have their bedding touch!  Maybe they don't realize the kids chew on the same toys!  Ha!)  Anyhow, I'm glad that's all over for a year!  It cut into our morning activities a bit, but not too bad BECAUSE:

We did a Toy, book, and Puzzle exchange this weekend and that keeps the kids engaged!  So it was kind of the perfect day for disruptions!!  :)  Avi, Nora, and Hudson were wearing some animal masks and how cute is Avilene in this bear mask!?  I helped her put it on (look at those cute eyes) and then she made some adjustments on it!!  :)

By the way, Avi displayed some "stranger anxiety" this morning that I'd never seen; totally normal and fine, but I'd never seen it from her before.  However, I LOVED it!!  Haha!  She snuggled (laid on my chest) all the time the Health Nurse was here and then the next stranger walked in!  So sorry that was uncomfortable for you Avi, but we NEVER snuggle like that.  In this last picture Hudson and Avi appear to be having a conversation and I'm thinking maybe they're discussing the traffic during the daily commute!  "I could barely get my bike through that busy spot!!"
