Avi - 10/8/2019

Avilene ate two servings of whole wheat English muffin and ate dried plums for breakfast.  For lunch she ate chicken with stir fry vegetables, no brown rice, and ate mandarin oranges.  (I finally found some mandarin oranges in 100% juice!). This first picture as you can see was at meal time. (Lunch)  Avi was giving Atley all the details and instructions on her upcoming Birthday Party.  Avi said, "Gary!!  Where's my Birthday Party again!?!"  I roared!  Uhhhh....you better consult with your Mom on  that question!!  Included in this discussion was this doozy; "And you have to make me a birthday card!!""  LOL!!  Atley said, "What color do you want?"  Avi said, "Pink and Blue."  Atley said, "We don't have pink crayon."  Avi said, "Ok, orange and blue then!!"  :)

A couple of pictures left over from outside time yesterday afternoon.  It was a wonderful afternoon and comfortable with long sleeves, but no jacket.  Avi was hanging upside-down and asked if I'd take a picture to show to her Mommy.  Following picture; Avi started walking along this skinny piece of concrete and Atley and Svea soon joined her and they were working hard to stay balanced on the concrete.  Avi kept saying the grass was "poop" and they had better not fall off!!  :)

Next picture: Avi asked if she could feed Callahan this morning.  That's the first time she's asked for several days.  She did a good job and stayed right on task.  I sit beside them on the couch so he's not looking around the room for me and I hold his hands down when he tries to grab her.  Avi told him to "sit still."  Hahaha!!

Last picture: Atley spotted a rainbow and was yelling, "rainbow, rainbow" and everyone raced to the window.  They no sooner got to the window and they spotted this bird on the concrete and the rainbow was a forgotten memory.  I think this bird is a flicker and initially I thought it was hurt because we could thump on the window and it wouldn't fly.  It worked at preening itself for several minutes, but eventually it flew off.  Avilene asked for the binoculars to get a close-up look.  :)
