Avi - 4/30/2018

Avilene ate cheerios and banana for breakfast.  For lunch she ate bite of ground beef, ate whole grain pita bread, ate olives, bite of tomatoes, ate avocados, and two large servings of watermelon.  Nora has been a great example for her many many "thank you's!!"  She says "thank you" after everything!!  It's so cute!  All of the kids were saying "thank you" at breakfast and lunch!  Thank you Nora!  :)

Here's a leftover note from last week.  I unintentionally called Linnea, "Lvea."  Combining Svea and Linnea's names!  Haha!  It actually sounds very pretty.  Messing up names is not real uncommon around here.  You should have heard it several years ago when Lauralea and I were licensed for 12 kids.  Oh man, there were times we'd say the funniest names or say 3 and 4 four names before we'd get the correct ones!!

First picture; Avi likes going off the end of the couch head-first and Atley likes to follow her!  :) Next picture:  Then Avi was sitting on the "bump" (that's what we call it) of the couch reading her book and Atley scooted right up close to her with a book as well.  Then Atley started reading and singing LOUD! You can see in the picture how Avi is now looking at Atley's book like "that must be very interesting book because she is very loud and persuasive with it!!"  :)

Here are a couple more pictures from the morning activities.  Avi said, "Hey!  You wanna do some snow-plowing!?!"  (That's what I call it when they plow around on the floor with their foreheads down.)  The funny part - Hudson and Atley immediately knew what she meant!  And down to the floor they went plowing their way around!!  :)  We did some coloring on coffee filters in the last picture and then sprayed them with water!
