Avi & Svea - 11/8/2018

Avilene ate half of french toast and ate dried plums for breakfast.  For lunch she ate pulled pork, whole wheat toast, half of peas, and half of tropical fruit.  Lately, Avi has been using meal time for sharing scenes of a movie; usually "Rock Dog" I guess, but I'm not familiar with any of them.  Today she said, "Hey Gary! In Rock Dog Bode played concert with Angus Scattergood."  LOL!  I had to repeat that several times and that's what I was hearing!  :)  She continued with more; "Angus was not being a very good friend."

Avi brought me a sticker and asked, "Gary, what's this guy?"  "Well it looks like he has shoulder pads so maybe it's a football player."  She said, "No; football player have two eyes; this guy have one eye."  Haha!  Later she looked out the window and said, "Hey Gary! It's snowing outside really good on the mountains."  Who told you that?  "My Dad."  She also said, "I got a ski helmet."

Here are some pictures from this morning's activities.  First picture: There is nothing more fun than boxes for kids!  They don't last very long - see how the sides are bulging as the girls lay side-by-side - but it's fun while it lasts.  (Big boxes are welcome here!!)  Second picture: I always love the concentration on Avi's face when she's hard at work on an activity.  (That was about the end of the stack.)  Third picture: Svea and Linnea in the legos drawer.  How cute is that?  Svea had a legos hanging out of her mouth the entire time so Linnea tried to stick a couple more in there. Like I mention over and over, I LOVE how gentle Linnea plays with Svea.  Believe me, we've had many children this age where you couldn't turn your back for fear of disaster! And I'm not exaggerating that!  :)  Last picture: Avi is hard at work on another activity.  You can see the pattern behind her stack and she followed it perfectly and then is adding one more ball to the top.  Good work Avilene!!
