Avi - 4/10/2018

Avilene ate two servings of toasted whole wheat english muffin and two servings of grapes for breakfast.  For lunch she ate bites of pork chops, ate whole wheat toast, bites of roasted vegetables (potatoes, carrots, mushrooms, sweet potatoes), and ate a large serving of applesauce.  (I'm posting the following in everyone's journal.) Hudson was eating fine, but chattering non-stop through breakfast!  (Which he'd already been doing - jabbering from arrival to breakfast!)  If volume is any indication (which it is) then Hudson was happy to be back and everyone else was happy as well.  Atley is the queen of volume and even she had her ears plugged at breakfast.  WOW!  Haha!  I never cease to be amazed how ONE child can make the energy level and volume increase exponentially at an amazing rate!!  But that's what happens.  Welcome back Bubba!  :)  Everyone was excited and talking and yelling at the same time!  That's not too unusual, but Hudson expects me to hear and give feedback on everything he says!  hahaha!!  "Hey Gary!  Hey Gary!  Hey Gary!"

One of the highlights for all the kids every morning - besides Art, Story Time, puzzles, sign language, singing, jumping, or whatever - is everyone running down the hall to greet Baby Linnea after her nap.  They all go ahead of me and pound on her door loudly while laughing and squealing until I get there!  It's so cute and Linnea always has a huge grin when we enter!!

Avi was talking about St Patrick's Day (again) and it went like this; "St Patrick's Day; then we go to the parade with Jackson!"  "Hey Avi!"  (I've never asked her this before today!) "Do you remember what color you had to wear?"  Avilene thought for only a couple of seconds and answered; "Yes. Green shirt."  Ha!  Wow.  Good job Avi!!  You frequently impress me Avilene!!

Here are some pictures from this morning: 1. I always have to post goofy one-eyed mask photos!!  

2. Avi is not in this picture, but Hudson said, "Avi, you wanna play hide-n-seek?  You go count."  Then he laid on the floor, covered his head with stuffed animals and said, "Ok, come find me!"  :)

3. This last picture made me laugh!  Avi was doing this puzzle and said, "This is NOT a good picture Gary!!"  Ha!  I assumed she was referring to the fact that even though the puzzle pieces are colored the background pictures are not colored!  :)
