Avi - 5/23/2019

Avilene ate waffles and bites of fruit salad for breakfast.  For lunch she ate a bite of shepherd's pie with meat, green beans, carrots, and potatoes.  She also ate whole wheat tortillas and ate her cherries.  The three girls at the meal table were arguing about who's a "mess maker" and who isn't!  All of them were claiming innocence of course. They went on and on and finally Avi said, "Let's drop the mess maker!"  I asked, "Where did you hear the 'let's drop it' phrase!?"  Avi said, "Lauralea."  Ha!  Later Atley said, "At lunch let's talk about halloween stuff!!"

Here's a piece of another discussion they were having at breakfast and Nora said something about peanut butter and banana and Avi said, "That would be yucky!!"  Nora said, "NO! We eat it!!"  Haha! Their mealtime chatter is quite fascinating and I learn a lot about each of them!!  :)

This first picture is from yesterday afternoon when Avi asked if she could do some "stamping."  She used just the alphabet stamps and spent a long time at it.  And she was back at it again this morning and Atley joined her.

Here are some pictures from this morning: Avi was getting Monkey all situated so she could read to him.  Or her.  Second picture: She stuck the monkey in the gate and said, "Gary! Look what I did to Monkey!"  So I was taking a picture and she started doing goofy things with her eyes!  Look closely and you can see they were slightly crossed!  I hadn't seen her do that before.  Last picture: All the kids except Svea are in this picture and as you can see Nora has the choice spot!  haha!!  And Avi is checking out some facial features!
