Avi - 12/30/2019

Avilene ate kix cereal and mixed fruit for breakfast.  For lunch she ate bites of ground turkey hash with meat, peppers, zucchini, yellow squash, sweet potatoes, and spices.  She ate whole wheat hamburger bun, and two servings of cherries.  Nora is here today and tomorrow because Linnea is gone and during breakfast Avilene was giving Nora a lesson (concerning proper teeth care) about "sugar bugs" and getting your "teeth drilled because you get holes in them" and "that would really really hurt."  For Nora the lecture became WAY TOO LONG and she became distracted watching Atley (who was done eating) on the mattress acting goofy and started laughing her head off.  Avi was distressed because Nora was no longer listening.  "NORA NORA, I'm trying to tell you something!!"  "Help me Gary! Help me!!"  Sorry Sweetie, but I think you lost your audience.  She grew tired while listening.

We did a toy, book, and puzzle exchange this weekend - well more accurately - Sylvie did it.  Haha!  My involvement is paying for the help, so I feel like I can say "we."  :)  As usual the kids were super busy and engaged all morning.  First picture: These are some rabbit ears that Nora was wearing and then Avi put some on too.  EXCEPT Avi had them turned around with the plaid part facing backwards and Nora was beside herself.  "The ears are backwards!!  The ears are backwards!!"  Avi was adamant too; "Nora has her's on backwards! Nora has her's on backwards!!"  Haha!  Second and third pictures doing puzzles.  Avi was so excited to see the puzzle in the first picture; "This is my favorite puzzle! This is my favorite puzzle!"

Last picture:  These are some new writing tablets I got.  Look how well Avi is doing with her name.  She gets the spelling correct and is making awesome letters as well.  Well done Avilene!!  See the button under her left index finger - that will automatically erase the board to start over.  (as long as the writing table is turned on.)
