Avi - 2/16/2018

Avilene ate whole grain cream of wheat cereal and dried plums for breakfast.  For lunch she ate baked beef kabobs with meat, zucchini, peppers, and mushrooms.  She ate a large serving of brown rice and ate her pineapple.  While the kids were eating their cream of wheat I was encouraging them to "keep your face over your bowl" and "hold your bowl with this (left) hand."  They've heard those phrases many many times!!  Hudson chimed in with this zinger: "That's part of the deal!!"  Reminded me of a car salesman!!  Ha!

First, I just want to remind everyone that Little Treasures is closed on Monday February 19th for Presidents Day.  Lauralea and I are headed to Billings tomorrow to see our Grandkids and probably their parents!  (Jokes!  That's a Grandparent joke!)  Blogs will resume on Tuesday!

I took this first picture of Avi yesterday afternoon.  She started doing this last week - when the steps are turned over to make a slide she likes to jump from the top to the floor.  She can clear it, but just barely and she's smart enough to basically spread her legs for the landing so she straddles it if she doesn't get the distance.  I say that's a pretty good "long jump" for a two year old.  :)

Here are some pictures from this morning: it's a milestone day at Little Treasures for Nora!  She will now step off the yellow part of the balance beam onto the mattress.  (She's the one on the left.)  The 2nd picture: Hudson asked Avi, "You want a piggy-back ride?"  Haha!  I grabbed the camera wondering what this might look like!!  :)  In the last picture Baby Linnea has a handful of Avi's hair. Avi was ok with it, but I think it surprised her a bit.  I noticed she didn't go back for a 2nd dose of that!  Haha!
