Avi - 4/12/2019

Avilene ate lots of oatmeal and a bite of baked cinnamon apples for breakfast.  For lunch she ate two servings of salmon, ate whole wheat dinner roll, cauliflower, and ate her mangoes.  As I've previously mentioned during meal times the kids are focused on the digital pictures and they act like they've never seen them before!!  There is a picture of me holding Gideon and EVERY time it appears they yell for me to look.  And occasionally I'm busy - surprise - and miss it!!  Avi was appalled!!  In a very accusatory tone she said, "GARY!! YOU MISSED GIDEON!!"  I said, "Guess what Avi?!?  I get a new picture of him every day!!  Avi replied, "Well, I got a new haircut!!!"  LOL!!  I roared!!  (It's all about ME!!  Egocentrism at it's finest!)

Then she said something else that made Lauralea and me laugh although we had NO idea what she was talking about!!  "Hey Gary!!  Dad told me to get out of the bathroom!  Mom told me to get back in the bathroom!"  Haha!

Reid was here yesterday afternoon and he was peeking over the toy shelf to see if Avi was still sleeping!  She'd just woke up and saw me walk by, but she was pretending to still be sleeping! And the second picture:  Everyone was thrilled to be outside!!  I cut some wooden "stepping stones" and also these various sized wooden slices.  (We'll call them "cookies.")  Reid was showing the kids one way to use them.

Here are a couple pictures from this morning:  I love her representational drawings she's been doing lately!!  And they're getting more detailed.  Another smiley face this morning with a nose and hair.  Well done Avi!!  Last picture:  The three oldest girls going back to Callahan's room when he woke from his morning nap!
