Avi & Svea - 11/26/2018

Avilene ate chex cereal and no banana for breakfast.  For lunch she ate half of ground beef, ate whole wheat pita bread, ate olives, no tomatoes, bites of avocado, and ate strawberries.

The funnest thing about returning from a trip is the excitement and joy with the Little Treasures children.  Lots of loves and snuggles and they're so excited to be back with their buddies.  I want to thank all of you again for allowing me to extend Thanksgiving time-off to include the entire week.  So precious to be with our family and new grandson Gideon - six weeks old on Thanksgiving Day.  We had Thanksgiving dinner at Gideon's Great Grandmother's house.  (20 relatives and very special time to meet them all.)  We had something I bet none of you had!?!  A 5" lizard climbing up the side of the tablecloth right beside Lauralea!  So hilarious!  My Son-in-Law grabbed it with his left hand and kept on eating with his right hand!!  I about died laughing!  (Look up the definition of redneck!!  Haha!)  My kind of people!!  :)

Avi had a few struggles getting back in the groove, but all in all it wasn't too bad.  Took about 15 - 20 minutes and she was good to go.  Momma Molly and I've already discussed this so if any of you have questions you can all ask her!!  Haha!  Avi was a bit bossy at breakfast time, especially with Nora.  She said, "Nora, put my cup on my spot."  (I sit the cups out where they have access to them at meal times.  Also, just an FYI.  I have their water bottles available for them to grab any time of the day too.)  Then she told Nora; "Put your bib on."  (Hmmm...maybe you also should put your bib on Avi!) I asked Avi this morning; "What's the funnest thing you did while away from Little Treasures?"  She said, "Go to sleep!"  LOL!

Here are some pictures from Avi's morning.  She was doing some "close up" work with one of the cameras and I caught it just as it flashed!  (Taking pictures of the little beads.)  Next two pictures: Close-up examination at the mirror.  Avi did a few Preschool activities, read books, and had fun playing on the mattress as well.

This last picture cracked me up!  Poor Svea Sweetie!  She's kind of in a tight spot here, but she wasn't distressed, just grinned at me when she heard me laughing and went back to playing the piano!!  An aspiring pianist!!  Then she turned around and started playing with the one behind her.  So funny.
