Avi - 10/18/2019

Avilene ate a large serving of cream of wheat cereal and ate her dried plums for breakfast.  For lunch she had one big bite of Shepherd's Pie with meat, potatoes, green beans, and carrots.  She ate whole wheat tortillas, and ate her cherries.  As I've mentioned several times frequently I hear questions at meal times like Avi asked today: "Gary, where do cherries come from?"  From cherry trees just like apples come from apple trees.  Avi said, "Just like pears and meatballs!"  Haha!  Yes for pears, but only in our silly books do meatballs grow on trees.  I then asked, "So where do meatballs come from?"  Atley said, "Books."  :)

Atley was aiming her question at me, but Avi was MORE than ready and happy to answer!!  Atley was proud of the legos she built and asked, "Can I take this home?"  Avi said, "NO."  Atley; "Why not?"  Avi; "Because it's Gary's."  Atley; "Well, can I make it another day?"  Avi; "Yes you can do that."  I'll just sit back and let Avi run the show here.  :)

Here are some pictures from this morning's activities.  Atley, Avi, and Svea are the only kids here today.  So it was similar to yesterday when the two older girls chose to play with Svea and included her in everything.  Thank you Avi and Atley; that was very sweet.  I'm not sure what they were doing in the first picture, besides squishing Avi, but Atley was more than happy to be on top!  Second picture; In the legos drawer and in the third picture she has a "tower" she built and wanted me to take a picture and show it to her "Mom and Dad."  Last picture; Coloring - and she worked HARD at it.  She said she's gonna continue to work on it after nap and snack.
