Avi - 8/16/2017

Avilene had bites of french toast and ate strawberries for breakfast.  For lunch she ate several bites of Paleo Stew with turkey burger, green beans, carrots, cauliflower, and brussel sprouts.  Hudson asked me about the brussel sprout - he called it a "ball."  Then he tried it and ate it all.  I was kind of making a big deal out of him bravely giving it a taste!  I then noticed that Avilene had picked up one of her brussel sprouts and started licking it!  Haha!  She did nibble on it too.  She also ate crackers and tropical fruit.

Hudson was playing with the binoculars that have animal pictures in them.  (Similar to the "viewfinder cameras" from the last play set.)  These binoculars are much easier for the kids to use.  Hudson said, "What's this Gary?"  I told him it was "a moose standing in the water."  Avi want to see and it amused me how she was trying to have a look too!  "I wanna see!  I wanna see!!"

I primarily took this next picture because 3 of the kids were playing with the same toy!  Sometimes it does work to have multiples of the same toy!  We also read books, played outside, and tried some more Art today.  I gave them markers (I like washable markers more than crayons) but out of the 4 kids here today Hudson was the only one to make lots of marks on his paper.  The others were more interested in coloring their hands and sucking on the markers!  Ha!  So we'll try finger painting next!

Here are a couple pictures of Avilene from this morning.  She was really studying the poster and I always think that's so cute.  Speaking of cute, her outfit today is adorable!!  And the last picture; she has been closing her eyes a LOT lately and even a couple of times when she walking and being silly.  I showed Hudson the picture of Avi with her eyes closed and asked him, "What's Avi doing?"  Hudson said, "Rocking the chair."  LOL!  Ok.  She probably was rocking the chair too!
