Avi - 9/22/2017

Avilene ate oatmeal and dried cranberries for breakfast.  For lunch she ate tilapia, maybe half of whole wheat elbow noodles, 1 or 2 green beans, and ate applesauce.  So at Lunch I asked this question: "Who is not here today?"  This age of kids NEVER think like adults (that's your free tip for the day), but I always like to ask "adult" type questions because the answers are always funny, but enlightening!  Ha!!  Again; "Who is not here today?"  So they've had ALL morning to realize Baby Nora is not here today (not feeling well) and surely someone will get the right answer!  Right?  Wrong!  Surprisingly, Avilene was the only one who gave an answer and it was a dandy!!  "JACKSON!!"  I roared!!  Well, I'll give you partial credit because you're right; your cousin Jackson is not here today.  I took this first picture when Avi was jumping before Lauralea left and she kept looking to see if Lauralea was watching.  :)  One of the times Lauralea wasn't watching and she said, "Lauralea, jump!"  Ha!

Hudson and Avi were riding in the swivel/rocker while Atley was pushing it around and around.  When she first started pushing the chair it was just Avi and of course Hudson wanted on, but she never did completely bring it to a stop.  He was jogging along beside the chair saying, "I want on, I want on."  And he made it!  (They were having fun and he never got to the point of frustration for me to help out.)

Here are a couple more pictures from this morning's activities.  The kids had fun doing some dot painting at art time and then I brought in a blanket off the patio for them to play in a tent.  Avi, Atley, and Hudson are all under the blanket - I guess you'll have to take my word for it, but they are there!! (I see two different feet and a hand sticking out!)
