Avi - 1/19/2018

Avilene ate malt-o-meal cereal and bites of dried plums for breakfast.  For lunch - from the baked "beef kabobs" she ate meat, no zucchini, no peppers, and no mushrooms.  She ate brown rice and pineapple.

Here's a picture of Avi greeting Baby Linnea this morning.  All the kids love Linnea and the Baby loves all the kids too!

We have this daily ritual as we prepare for Story Time.  The kids LOVE Story Time and they all eagerly sit and wait on the couch while I pick out some books, usually from the "Special Book" shelf.  When I put the last book on my stack of books and they know I'm done they all start cheering.  Every day!  It's the cutest thing!  The moment we were done with Story Time today Atley sprinted to the gate, never made a sound, just stood there and waited for Nora and Avi to join her.  Sure enough, they ran over there too and they started running back-and-forth across the room again.  Then they were flopping on the floor and eventually went to the mattress to play.

Nora was watching Hudson and Avilene at the mirror with their "hoodies" over their head.  Actually, Avi's is not really a hoodie, but an over-sized collar on her sweater.  (I'm sure there's probably a name for such things, but I have no clue.)  Anyhow, she had it pulled over her head like a hoodie.  Nora was getting more mad by the second tugging on her collar trying to pull up her hoodie!!  Dang, that was funny.  It looked like she was going to lift herself off the floor with her collar.
