Avi & Svea - 12/7/2018

Avilene ate cream of wheat cereal and bite of dried plums for breakfast.  For lunch she ate half of baked beef kabobs with meat, peppers, and zucchini.  She ate brown rice and pineapple too.

First picture: Avi eating breakfast!  Haha!  Avi was at the dentist office and was a bit late (which is why she's the only one there), but I basically took this picture to show you all we got the new digital picture frame up and running!  (Mounted at the end of the table.)  The kids love it of course and there are several pictures on the SD card that were taken by the children too.  One of those pictures is a pretty amazing shot of Nora's nostrils!!  Haha!!  "A Toddler Selfie!!"

This next picture is leftover from yesterday afternoon.  Linnea piled on top of Avilene and when Svea observed that she wanted to join in as well.  So cute!  This is just my opinion, but here is one of the primary differences I've observed over the years between boys and girls at this age:  These girls can play like this on the mattress, but it rarely escalates into something more!!  Throw one random boy in the mix and there is a very good chance it will continue to get wilder and crazier and someone will eventually be howling!!  :)  Testosterone is a marvelous thing!  This is just a side note, but about 15 years ago Lauralea and I were licensed for 12 kids and for almost 2 years we had 11 boys and 1 girl!  Testosterone flowed freely and wildly!

Next picture: Svea watching sister Avi do some preschool activity.  Probably about 1.5 years and you'll be out there too Svea!!  Hey Molly!  Lauralea got to see Svea doing some of those big long eye "blinks" I was telling you about!  The cutest thing!!  Last picture: Avi was nailing this preschool activity!  You're a rock star Avi!!  Lauralea made all these pictures, put the words underneath them, laminated them, and I have a wonderful "word activity" for the kids.  Thank you Lauralea!  (I'm surrounded by Rock Stars!)  :)
