Avi - 10/27/2017

Avilene ate a large serving of malt-o-meal cereal and some dried plums for breakfast.  For lunch she ate meat from baked beef kabobs; some zucchini, no mushrooms or peppers.  She ate bites of brown rice and bites of pineapple.  Avi has been so determined to get her bib on by herself.  (You can check out the bibs if you'd like and see how they are constructed, because it's not an easy task.  Although I open them up so the kids can be successful.)  I don't know what you guys see at home, but I'm very impressed how long Avi will stay focused on a task like that, work and work and work to accomplish it without getting frustrated!  Well done Avi!

Hudson and Avilene were running back-n-forth across the room yelling and saying things like; "help, help, help...help Mommy, help Daddy, help Gary, help, help."  (Hudson was doing the majority of the talking, but Avi was chiming in now and then!)  I was watching and finally had to ask; "What are you guys doing!?"  Hudson said, "We're playing Danger!"  Ha!  New one for me!  I love it that he can verbalize things like that because it's pretty fascinating sometimes to hear what they're doing and thinking!!  :)

In this first picture Atley kept raising her shirt and Avi was bopping her on the belly!  As you can tell they were having a grand time with lots of laughter!  Hudson said, "Look at those guys!  They're playing with each other!"  He made it sound like it never happens!!  :)

Avi was sitting on the legos table making a lot of racket by slinging the legos all over the table!  (Atley is the one who likes that activity most of all!!)  It kept getting louder and louder!  Ha! Anyhow, it rarely works to simply ask them to play quiet so I'll just go over and start building with the legos.  Almost immediately they will start watching what I'm doing and then start something of their own or want to build on mine.  Then after a few minutes I just back away and continue to watch and monitor their behavior and activity.  :)  Life at Little Treasures.
