Avi - 5/16/2019

Avilene had a nibble of whole wheat bagel and ate a large serving of peaches for breakfast.  For lunch she ate tilapia, two servings of whole wheat elbow noodles, ate green beans, and two servings of applesauce.  (They like me to smother their noodles with applesauce.)

Avi and I had the cutest conversation and it went like this:  She asked, "Hey Gary! Do you know what 'special' means!?!"  "Yes I do, but I want to hear from you! What does 'special' mean Avi?" She said, "Cute."  I said, "Well that might be part of it, but it's much more than that."  So I asked her; "Are you special?"  Avi said, "Yes."  So I asked, "So are you just cute?"  She said, "No.....both."  I asked, "Both?"  She said, "Yes, special and cute."  Haha!  Isn't that awesome!?!  Totally love it!  Good thinking Avi!!

This first picture is from yesterday afternoon and Avilene was having fun driving nails into the block of wood.  I really like how soft this wood is and it's perfect for the kids to practice their hand-eye coordination!!  And Avi is pretty good at it already!  She's only done this once before and there was marked improvement!!  I would do sets of 3 nails and she probably did at least 6 sets.

Here are some pictures of Avi busy at work this morning!  She loves it when I take pictures of her projects!  First one; building on top of the legos that was left over from yesterday!!  Second picture: "Hey Gary! Look what I made!"  (Stringing pipe cleaners through the holes.)  I love the third picture! She's working very hard on her own to match the numbers correctly and she's having LOTS of success!!  Way to go Avi!!  Last picture: Doing a sorting activity with Nora!!  Cheers!!  I knew they'd eventually find something they might work on together!!  (Well at least for a few minutes!!)  Avi likes to be in charge.  Nora likes to be in charge.  (Atley is gone today.)  When Nora got tired of the sorting activity she got up and left.  Avi said, "You cannot leave yet!!"  Haha!  Wrong! She left.
