Avi - 1/13/2020

Avilene ate several bites of whole grain Chex cereal and three servings of peaches for breakfast.  For lunch she ate ground beef, whole wheat hamburger bun, ate tomatoes, avocados, and three servings of mandarin oranges.  Before breakfast Avilene's eyes were "watering" and I thought she was crying.  I asked, "Would you like to snuggle?"  This was how she told me they were just watering and she wasn't crying;  "The tears are coming down by themselves."  So cute.

Then Avi was telling me about spending the night at "Nina's house."  She kept talking about "Dennis" and I just assumed that might be Nina's Boyfriend.  Avi said something about "playing at night and sleeping in the morning."  Haha!!  Finally I realized she was talking about a cat!!  LOL!!

Callahan screamed and Avilene said, "That is NOT acceptable!!"  Probably 10 seconds later she said, "Hey Gary! What does acceptable mean?!?"  Hahaha!  She cracks me up.  (She's obviously repeating something I may or may not have said.  You can decide.)

Every two weeks I start the Blogs this way:  We did toy, book, and puzzle exchange this weekend so everything is new and different and the kids always stay super busy on Toy Exchange Monday.  Or as Atley calls it; "New Toy Monday!!"  :)  So here's pictures of Avi with some new stuff!!  Dance game, car ramp, and in the third picture it's actually a NEW puzzle.  48 piece "Frozen" puzzle and we did it together.  I took the picture when we were done and Avilene was counting to make sure there were actually 48 pieces.  When I left she was at number "40-11."  Haha.  Last picture;  This is a new activity I just got and it's basically a Preschool version of pingpong!  :)  The orange ball is on the end of a wire and the kids hit it back and forth with their paddles.
