Avi - 12/9/2019

Avilene ate three servings of cheerios and ate banana for breakfast.  For lunch she ate half of ground beef, ate whole wheat pita bread, avocado, a couple bites of tomatoes, and ate a large serving of strawberries.  At the Lunch table Atley said, "Gary, my breath hurts."  What?!?  I knew I'd heard her correctly, but I needed some clarification!  Haha.  "Show me where you hurt."  So she pointed to the inside of her mouth.  Avi, of course, felt the need to jump into the conversation!  (With a high level of accusation implied) Avi asked, "Have you been licking your lips!?!?"  LOL!  All around underneath Avilene's bottom lip it's shiny red from licking.  So I'm assuming she's heard that question a few times!!  :)

Well we did a toy, book, and puzzle exchange (or as Atley calls it; "new toy Monday") this weekend and the kids were busy all morning.  First picture: Avilene was doing a "search and find" book similar to the one she had here from home.  Second picture: Avi is learning how to use one of the new "kid cameras" I got for them to play with.

 

Next picture: I set up this game for Avi and Atley and took this picture as they were getting started.  This is a game called "Sequence" that we've played several times and they are capable of playing it themselves and taking turns drawing the cards.  Last picture: Avi was working on putting the cards away after their game.  But this was not as easy as you may think!!  :)  She had to arrange them in a particular order with the outside of the cards all "right-side up."  Well done Avilene.  Lauralea would be super proud of you!!  :)  She had picked up all the blue pieces earlier and wanted me to pick up the green ones.  "Gary, will you pick the green ones up?"  "Why?"  She answered, "So I don't have to. I'm tired."  LOL.  I'm so sorry, but you're almost done.  :)  (Atley had wandered off long before this - "I'm done" - and Avi continued playing the game by herself.)
