Avi & Svea - 10/19/2018

Avilene ate brown rice and raisins for breakfast.  For lunch she salmon, most of whole wheat dinner roll, ate green beans, and mangoes.  Here is a piece of lunch time conversation: Atley; "We have a back room."  Or maybe it was; "We have a bath room."  Or maybe; "We have a vacuum."  Avilene and I were guessing, but with limited success.  Finally, Avi looked at Atley's mouth full of dinner roll and said, "Chew Atley!"  Haha!  Forget talking, just chew!

Avi did lots of preschool trays and activities this morning.  She and Atley were doing the little wooden blocks and Avi started saying, "Dang it!  Dang it!"  And of course Atley was now going; "Dang it! Dang it!"  Ha!  Avi was watching Atley try to find the letter "V" and Atley couldn't see it and really doesn't know it anyhow.  Avi said, "It's right across from the "L."  Ha!  (That was true.) The first picture: They had fun gluing and trying to get things to stick on the round paper towel tubes.

Second picture: We also set up the marble maze and they played with it for awhile.  Here's a scenario that amused me this morning and it's pretty typical when trying to teach 2 and 3 year old children to "share" their toys.  (Something we discussed in our Parent/Provider meeting.)  Sharing is a concept they really aren't totally capable of grasping until usually in their 3rd year.  And that's' why I have 3 and 4 duplicates of everything!!!  Today it was doll blankets.  Avilene had 6 and Atley had none.  Atley was whining for one.  So I said, "Avi, which doll blanket can Atley have?"  Avi; "This one."  And she gave her one so Avi now had 5 and Atley had 1.  Avi immediately said, "Hey Atley! You wanna share?!  LOL!  Which meant: Avi wanted that blanket back!  Too funny!

Last picture: Here are the two girls reading some Daycare books.  Earlier these books were still laying in front of the bookrack; we didn't get them put away yesterday.  Atley looked at them and said, "Linnea got the books out."  Haha! Except she hasn't been here since Wednesday.  :)
