Avi - 1/22/2019

Avilene ate two servings of whole wheat English muffin and two servings of dried plums for breakfast.  For lunch she ate no chicken, ate brown rice, no stir fry vegetables, and most of oranges.  As the kids were waiting for breakfast I was whistling loud and they were guessing the tunes.  Nora and Atley were nailing them in just a few seconds every time.  (Avi was asking me to stop!  Haha!)  It reminded me of a game show on TV called "Name that Tune" from MANY years ago!  haha!

Avi looked out the window at the icicles hanging and said, "Popsicles!!"  As soon as she said it, she knew that wasn't quite right.  Lauralea was headed out the front door to catch the bus to work and I said, "Go wave at Lauralea." And I pointed at the window.  Avi thought I'd lost my mind.  She said, "NOOO; the car is in the garage!!  She goes that way!!"  Ha!  She was animated and talking with great authority!!  :)  Different plan this morning Sweetie!!

Nora occasionally gets into a "Don't Look At Me" mode and screams those words at others.  Which kind of works against Nora because the other kids have a tendency to jump on that.  For example; one of the times when she was saying that this morning, Avi started chasing her back-n-forth across the room yelling, "I can look at you Nora, I can look at you Nora!"  So we quickly moved on to an activity.  :)

Most of the pictures today are from yesterday afternoon.  We have several different size snow suits and Lauralea put this hat (whatever it's called) and mittens on Avi.  It was all so cute.  Third picture - you can see the sand tables: They were pestering me to play in the "sand."  They kept saying, "Why not?!?"  So I kept saying, "Well if I have to explain that to you, there's a good chance you won't understand anyhow!"  Haha!  (I was humoring myself!)

 

Last picture: I took this just before Nap time.  Avi and Atley were reading the "I Spy" book and I like watching and especially listening to the kids when they read this book together.  There are objects on one page and you have to find the same objects on the opposite page.  They were working hard at it for a long time.  They were using the same words I use when I read it; "Can you show me the.....?"
