Avi - 12/5/2019

Avilene ate half of whole wheat English muffin and ate mandarin oranges for breakfast.  For lunch she ate ground beef, large serving of whole wheat elbow noodles, ate peas, and three servings of applesauce.  At breakfast she said, "Your mandarin oranges are different than mine (at home)."  I wasn't sure what she meant by that until I drank the juice and it was not sweet.  No sugar (or any sweetener) in these.

Just an FYI, Avilene has been chewing on her fingernails again; a lot.  I remind her frequently, but it totally feels like nagging because she'll stop momentarily and then resume gnawing.  I said, "Hey Avi, please stop chewing your fingernails."  She was trying to stop and a minute later she said, "I just wanna bite something!"  :)

This first picture is from yesterday afternoon.  Avilene really likes the babies and is very sweet to them.  As you well know she's a busy busy little girl, but she'll occasionally stop to say hi or interact with Callahan or Miles.  So I asked her if she'd like to hold Miles and let me take a picture.

Next picture; Avi and Atley worked on puzzles several times this morning.  They are really enjoying these and I'm gonna keep getting more of these challenging puzzles.  Nice job girls!!  As a side note Avi has been enjoying looking for Woody this week.  I've just been hiding him once a day and then he goes "bye bye" until the next morning.  She and Atley (airplane) have both enjoyed it a lot.  Last picture;  Avi asked if we could snuggle, which doesn't mean calm snuggling, but she likes sitting on my lap.  So we were doing selfies and she was doing fake laughs and asking if I took a picture.  "Did you get a picture of that one!?!"  :)
