Avi - 8/28/2019

Avi ate three servings of whole wheat toast and two servings of mangoes for breakfast.  She was intentionally calling mangoes "fla-mangoes" and laughing about it.  "I want more fla-mangoes." For lunch she ate two servings of ground beef mixed with marinara sauce, three servings of whole wheat spaghetti noodles, ate most of cauliflower, and most of fruit salad.  She needs lots of fuel for that high powered motor she's running!!  :)

These first two pictures are left over from yesterday afternoon.  Avilene was pounding out a tune on the xylophone and Atley was dancing up a storm.  :)  It was pretty cute.  Following picture; Nora, Avi, and Atley were running up and down the sidewalk and I asked them what they were doing.  Avilene said, "We're running so we don't get stung."  Ha.  Well hopefully that works because there are some bees around and they're not very nice this time of year.  I like how Avi was watching her shadow as she was running and I also like how both of her feet are in the air when I took the picture.

Next picture; This is one of two big doll houses we found at a garage sale that's in very good shape. We've been needing to thoroughly clean and sanitize them - plus a tub full of accessories that came with them.  So we got a few pieces done and Atley and Avi were having a great time exploring and playing with it.

Everything was a bit different with Nora gone this morning - it always changes the dynamics of a group when change occurs, but we all seemed to survive in good shape.  Nora will be coming in the afternoons for the month of September and then her little brother Miles will start on October 1st.  So that's the plan going forward.
