Avi - 8/21/2019

Avilene ate French toast and strawberries for breakfast.  For lunch she ate three servings (yes three!) of whole 30 chili with meat, peppers, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, and tomato sauce.  (And lots of good spices!!). The kids are really liking this meal and it's one of Lauralea and my favorites!!  She also ate whole wheat dinner roll and tropical fruit.

Avi was running to the bathroom full speed ahead and ran into the highchair leg.  As she was laying on the floor she said, "This high chair just hit me, but I didn't get any owies!!"

First picture: I got some more tape measures - these are soft - fabric tape measures and the kids like them.  They have fun with them, but it's a great way for them to grow in number recognition.  Avi said, "Hey Gary, this is four one inches long."  And she's right.  It's 41 inches between the arms of the couch.  Notice her sidekick is holding the tape for her.  :)  Avi had one stretched out as far as it could go - past the last number - and the tape is bare for three or four inches.  Avi found that interesting and was trying to explain it to Nora.  She said, "When it doesn't go any longer it has no numbers Nora.  Does that make any sense?"

Next picture: Nora has been feeding Callahan and Avi asked if she could feed him.  So I gave her the instructions and she did real well with it.  First you gotta sit still and focus on Cal and the bottle.  She kept sneaking a peek at me out of the corner of her eye.  :)

Last picture: Avi coaxed Nora into joining her doing some cutting with scissors.  Nora worked at it for maybe a minute and quickly discovered it's way easier and faster to just rip and tear the paper with her hands.  Haha!  You can see pieces of paper on the table that Avi has cut and she did a couple of really good little squares.  She said she wanted to cut "a triangle."  You can see I drew some on her paper in two corners and then another one.  Then Nora wanted one and you can see her's too.  Nora was mad because her's was not like Avi's.  And OF COURSE Avi was mad because her's was not like Nora's.  LOL!!
