Avi - 1/25/2019

Avilene ate a large serving of oatmeal and bites of dried cranberries for breakfast.  For lunch she ate tilapia, whole wheat elbow noodles, green beans, and two servings of applesauce.  At the breakfast table Atley was coughing and Nora (very sweetly) asked; "Are you ok Atley?"  No answer.  Again; "Are you ok Atley?"  No answer.  Avi said, "She's ok."  (ha!)  Nora; "Are you ok Atley?"  Again Avi answered, but this time said, "She's not ok."  Nora said, "Gary!!  Atley not talk to me!!"  Me: "Atley, please answer Nora. We answer when someone talks to us."  (I guess I was caught up in listening and being entertained by the entire exchange!!)  Haha!

Momma Molly did the "I love you" to her girls when the kids were waving at the window.  Avi looked at me and said, "Did you see that!?!"  Haha!  Yes I did and it was very sweet!  Shortly after we went to the couch because she was asking; "Will you snuggle me Gary, will you snuggle!?!?"  I took this first picture; a selfie of her and she when I showed her the picture she said, "That's cute!!!"  Haha!  I agree!

Nora was playing with a toy and one of the babies came by and reached for it.  Nora was yelling; "NO! Its' mine! It's mine!"  With great authority Avi said, "Well actually, it's Gary's!"  Haha!!  Avi has heard that a few times.  Except I add; "and I'm happy to share these toys with all of you!"  Avi saw Atley playing with a toy and Avi asked; "You wanna share that toy with me?"  :)

Next picture: These three were reading books in the preschool room and Atley and Nora were again singing SO loud and again Avi acts as if she doesn't hear them.  And she probably doesn't.  She's no doubt conditioned herself to tune them out because it's a daily occurance!!  Ha!  Every book Nora would pick up she'd ask Atley; "What's this one?"  And Atley would give the exact same answer every time; "Way up in the Arctic."  And they'd both start singing loudly again.  (I have ones about the Arctic, Desert, Garden, Ocean, and more.  Probably 6 in all and they use the same tune.)

More pictures of the kids busy at their play/work!!  Last picture: These are little plastic "chain links" that she's hooking together.  There is actually several patterns to follow, but Avi chose to just work on getting them linked together.
