Avi - 4/18/2018

Avilene ate two servings of whole wheat toast and two servings of mangoes for breakfast.  For lunch she ate ground beef with marinara sauce on whole wheat spaghetti noodles, ate squash, and a large serving of fruit salad.  I got everyone their food at breakfast and then informed them, "I'm gonna put Baby Linnea in bed for her nap."  Hudson said, "Ok, that's fine with me."  Haha!!  (Ok, thank you Chairman Boyle: "All in favor of the motion say YES!!")

While I'm writing this Blog the kids are going to sleep.  I told Avi to move her hand away from her binky - one way she distracts herself.  Then to lay still.  Both times she nodded her head (ok!) at me.  Cutie.  It still only took her five minutes to go to sleep.

I took this first picture yesterday afternoon to show everyone that we have been getting outside - not a lot yet - but in the afternoon every chance we get!!  (Still using hoods and mittens in the middle of April.  It's been a chilly Spring so far.)

Here are some pictures from this morning and the first picture depicts about 20 - 30 minutes of play for everyone!  Nora was sitting in the chair and Atley, Avi, and Hudson were piling stuffed animals and pillows around and on top of her.  Eventually Hudson wanted to have a turn they covered him up. He kept telling Avi what he wanted her to do and she started ignoring him.  He finally said, "Avi! Are you awake!?!"  She said, "yes."  He said, "Come bury me Avi!!"  Haha!  She shrugged it off and kept doing her own thing.

Hello!! Check out this last picture!!  Another achievement at Little Treasures; jumping off the top of the igloo.  Hudson did it today too and when Avi saw him do that she wasn't about to get left behind!!  Look at that face; so proud of herself and grinning like crazy.  She was getting some serious air too and launching herself out there pretty good!!  Well done Avi!!
