Avi & Svea - 12/31/2018

Avilene ate two servings of whole wheat Chex cereal and ate peaches for breakfast.  For lunch she ate ground beef, whole wheat hamburger bun, no tomatoes, ate avocados, and no oranges.

This is just an FYI for whoever is picking up your children today; Lauralea will be covering for me so I can join a friend at the Lady Griz game.  Cheers.  Thank you Lauralea.  I will probably be back by 4:30 - 5:00 so you may not see her anyhow.  Also, we want to wish all our Little Treasures families a Happy New Year.  No Blogs tomorrow, but they will resume on Wednesday.  Happy Birthday tomorrow to our sweet Svea!!!  I asked Avi and Atley how old Svea would be tomorrow.  Atley said, "3 in December."  Haha!  Ummm, no, that was your birthday Atley.  :)

Occasionally I'll let Avi go without a bib; usually at snack when it's something NOT messy.  So last Friday at snack she asked if she could go without a bib.  Super messy snack; yogurt and blueberries on the side.  So I said, "You have to wear your bib, BUT if you can keep it clean with this messy meal that would be impressive.  She had four big messes so we'll hold off on going bib-less!!!  I didn't make a big deal of it, but said we'll just keep trying.  For one thing, she takes a VERY relaxed approach to how she sits at the table.  She's usually sitting way low, legs stretched out and usually crossed, and just super relaxed.  :)  (She's usually sitting lower than Nora.)

I took this first picture last Friday afternoon when the neighbor's daughter-in-law brought their little dog to the window for the kids to look at.  Which was very sweet of her.  Avilene happened to be in the bathroom at the time and the puppy was gone when she arrived, but you can see Svea at the window.  Speaking of Svea, she gets her own Blog on Wednesday!!  It will be on this same page, but a separate Blog starting below Avilene's Blog.

Pictures from this morning:  We did a toy, book, and puzzle exchange so the kids were busy and it was a normal toy exchange Monday.  Except it was just three kids here.  Nora and Linnea will be back on Wednesday.  First picture; Atley was wearing a mask and I told her it was the "Grandma mask."  So Avi got a mask and Atley said, "I'm Grandma!"  Avi said, "I'm Grandpa!!"  (The Little Red Riding Hood story - Grandma, woodcutter, and there's a wolf mask too.)  Next picture: they found out they could stick some food toys to the window; "cheese slices and bologna!!"  Haha!  Last picture: Doing some Art on the box.
