Avi - 5/1/2019

Avilene ate three servings of whole wheat toast and ate a large serving of mangoes for breakfast.  It was after 11:00 when I realized we'd forgotten to cook the spaghetti noodles for lunch!!  Ooops!  So we had more toast!  However that gave everyone something to talk about at lunch!  Over and over! And over!   "They forgot to cook the noodles!!"  "They forgot to cook the noodles!"  "Gary, you forgot to cook the noodles."  For lunch she ate ground beef with marinara sauce, whole wheat toast, bites of cauliflower, and half of fruit salad.

As I've mentioned many many times in Atley's Blog she will look at books and sing random songs that frequently have nothing to do with the book.  This time it was "The Bear Went Over the Mountain" and Avilene noticed this time and it was bugging her.  Avi said something like, "That is not a bear."  Atley acted like she never heard, or at the least didn't care, and just kept on singing.  Which also bugged Avi!!  :)  "Atley, that is not a bear!"

Next picture: I just thought it was cute how Linnea was sitting on the couch along with Avi and reading books.  I don't know if you can see it in the picture - well you can if you zoom in close - but Linnea's got her book upside-down.  I posted a picture yesterday just like this one and it's interesting how they'll do identical things for a day or two, then go days before they might revisit the same activity again.

Last picture - I announced doing some sign language and this is what they do.  All sit on the window step and wait for the signing to start!!  Avilene knows all the signs of course and gets them right every time.  Notice how Svea was "backing up" to the step, but her "backing up skills" need some work!  She was about to plop on Linnea's lap!  Haha!!
