First picture: Nora has been in Vermont with Mommy and Daddy this week seeing the beautiful fall colors, visiting farms, teddy bear factory, orchards and having fun. I showed the kids this picture on Tuesday and told them Nora was eating a "cider doughnut." Yesterday afternoon Avi wanted to see the picture again and she asked; "Can I see Nora eat spider doughnut?" Atley immediately said, "I wanna see Nora eat spider doughnut too!!" Me too!! LOL!! I roared!
Avi and Atley were doing stickers and Avi asked, "Can I do stickers on my knees?...Until I get bigger?" Huh?..? Oh yes, of course. She wanted to "stand" on her knees on the table bench to reach better. I initially thought she wanted to put stickers on her knees. Ha! There is a LOT of "language translation" that happens in this setting and it can be very challenging!! Next picture: It's just the two big girls today so I tried letting them do some big ink pads with the big stamps on a big paper. (Using a very limited amount of the colors and stamps.) There is a process and directions to follow and Avi did pretty well with it.
I love how curious Avi is about Everything! And the non-stop barrage of "why" questions and wanting details on everything!! (This reminds me of my son and all of his continual "why" questions at that age! A very bright child and I can brag about him as he's adopted. Ha!) She was looking at a book this morning and the boy had his hands cupped around his ears to ear better. She asked, "Does he not like that sound?" What a great question! Then this morning she extended it to the picture she was drawing that you can see below. She pointed and asked, "What's that lady doing?" My answer - Well Avi, you drew the picture so you tell me; what's that lady doing? Avi thought for a few moments and said, "She's doing hip hop." Whoa. What?! What's that mean? Avi said, "It's like exercising." Wow! Ok, I'm impressed again!! :)
