Avi - 3/8/2018

Avilene ate most of whole wheat bagel and two servings of peaches for breakfast.  For lunch she ate two servings of hamburger/sausage pizza on whole wheat crust with tomato sauce, olives, peppers, and pineapple.  She also ate mixed fruit.  Sometimes it's a bit rowdy getting through the gate for meal times and I have to watch them closely.  Tuesday and Wednesday Avi walked into the corner of the gate (or was jostled) and hit her forehead.  Today at breakfast Hudson said, "Hey! Avi didn't hit the gate this time.  :)  Thank goodness!!

Lauralea has been teaching evening classes so she is at home today.  The kids were greeting her at the gate this morning and it was SO cute.  And re-creating the moment looks pretty good too, right!?  (See picture!!  Ha!)  Speaking of Lauralea - during meal times I have the kids say, "Thank you Lauralea!" And she usually isn't around to hear it, but she was today!  Side note about that: This morning at Lunch I mixed some baby food with infant cereal for Linnea and Hudson said, "Thank you Lauralea!"  (As he watched ME fix it. That cracked me up!)

Ok, this next picture is so cute!  Does it look familiar!?  Haha!  It cracks me up, so I decided every time she wears this sweater with the large collar and uses it for a hoodie I'm gonna take a picture.  The last two pictures: Avi worked hard at building a sidewalk again!  She loves doing that.  The girls were running back-n-forth to the mirror again as well, but now they had to deal with a sidewalk obstacle!  We also did golf ball art, or as Atley calls it; "goo-ba art."  :)  Speaking of art, Avi wanted to put on her paint shirt by herself and it went like this: "I'm doing it by myself Gary...uuhhhh....can you help me!?"  :)  That moment of independence lasted for at least 2 - 3 seconds!!
