Avi - 8/18/2017

Avilene ate brown rice and raisins for breakfast.  For lunch she ate salmon, most of dinner roll, bites of corn, and ate mangoes.  Hey Molly - Reid spotted you backing up to wave at us and he started laughing. "She backing up!!"  Then he had to add; "She backing up for no reason!!"  Haha!  What a goof!

Atley has been building with the large legos blocks a lot lately.  This morning Avilene decided to join her.  (Maybe because there are only 3 kids here today - Avilene, Atley, and Reid!)  I love these blocks because the smallest children can manipulate these into stacking.  And the kids - young and old - never seem to grow tired of them.  Believe me, we're tried MANY different styles of blocks and we've always liked these the best!  Avi's tower tipped over and now you have a sidewalk!!

We did some painting with a brush, but as usual it evolved into finger painting which is lots of fun for them.  I had to change Atley's diaper as we were getting ready to paint and Reid asked if he could put a paint shirt on Avilene.  He was pretty proud of himself for getting it on correctly.  He said, "I actually got it on the right way!"  And he had!  (He put the Large on Avi and the Small on himself.  That made me laugh!)

Reid and Avilene chased bubbles outside - Atley doesn't really care for that sport!  :)  When the bubbles were almost gone I let Reid blow LOTS of bubbles for Avi to chase and they had lots of fun. Reid is actually really good at it; blowing slowly and deliberately making lots of bubbles bigger than a softball.
