We hadn't read this book for several weeks, but while pointing at the picture I said, "These are porcupine _______." Avi said, "Quills." Good remembering Avi!! :) Avi was also talking on the phone in a LONG (three to four minutes probably) and animated conversation, walking around the room, gesturing with her hands. Here are some quotes from that; "What did you say!?!" She'd pause and listen. "Oh!! I'm sorry!!" (She was really gesturing when she said sorry!) "I'm talking to my Mom!" Haha! Avi held the phone up to Svea's ear and said, "Say hi!" Moments later she said to Lauralea; "Lauralea, do you want to say hi to my Mom!?" And of course Lauralea played along with her. So cute.
These first three pictures are from yesterday afternoon. Nora, Avi, and Atley were working hard at doing some stickers and they had lots of fun with it. Also in the first picture I want to again mention the digital picture frame you see on the wall. This is a HUGE hit with the kids especially at meal times. They talk constantly (while eating) and identify who is in the picture. Second picture: Svea was making me laugh and Avi was being super gentle with her sister. So Cute!! Third picture - They were playing in the igloo. :) Huge grins on Atley and Nora because Avi was trying to touch the camera. :) Fourth picture: Avi did lots of activities this morning and this was a "matching activity" she's working on. Finding things that go together like the spoon and bowl she's doing.
Next picture: Svea was holding out this toy towards Linnea who then reached out and took it. Not what Svea expected or wanted! Ha! Hey, Svea did something this morning that is not very common. She was crawling on her hands and knees, then stopped and put it in reverse! Haha! Perfect "hands and knees" crawling backwards. I've seen lots of kids "scoot" backwards, turn around of course, but not that! Maybe she's an "experimenter" like her Sis!! I texted Lauralea and she confirmed my reaction, "Not common." :)
