Avi - 10/30/2017

Avilene ate bites of bran cereal and ate raisins for breakfast.  For lunch she ate bites of chicken salad; chicken, bites of tomato, bites of cucumbers, no peppers, and ate olives.  She had bites of pita bread, and ate two servings of pears.

It is a big day for Atley to transition to the Nap Mat so we all went on a "field trip" to the living room where I had all their mats laid out so everyone could see where Atley is now sleeping!  :)  I've been prepping her for a few days and the other kids get excited about it as well.  "Atley sleep on Nap Mat?!?!"  I asked the kids; "Who is going to sleep on a nap mat for the first time today?"  Hudson said, "Ba-nay!"  Ha!  No, it's not Baby "La-nay-ah."  Avi said, "Ba-La-nay!?"  :)  Last week I told Hudson it's "La" like in "Lauralea."  (Telling him the Baby's name starts with the "L" sound.)  So he said; "Lauralea Ba-nay!??"  Cracked me up!!

We did a toy, book, and puzzle exchange this weekend and the kids - especially Avi and Nora were excited to find some animal masks to wear.  Here's Avi in her cute little cow mask!  This toy exchange has a farm and farm animal theme!

Avi was building a good ladder with the legos pieces.  These originally were used as part of a corral fence, but the kids use them like Avi is doing in the picture.
