Avi - 1/9/2020

Avilene ate toasted whole wheat bagel and two servings of peaches for breakfast.  For lunch she ate hamburger and sausage pizza with meat, peppers, olives, pineapple, and tomato sauce.  She ate whole wheat pizza crust (we cut it up and serve it on the side), and more pineapple.

Atley just randomly said, "It's the 18th."  Avi looked at me and then (with skepticism) asked, "Gary, Is Linnea going to Disneyland today!?!"  Nope.  She's leaving on the 18th.  :)  I was impressed that Avilene remembered the date Linnea is leaving.  We haven't been talking about it!!  Of course Avi is Super impressed that Linnea is going!!  Ha!

This first picture is left over from yesterday afternoon.  The big kids were running wild so I went over and started building with the legos and the kids immediately joined me.  I continued for a few minutes and then just backed away and this is what always happens.  They were engaged with the toys for several minutes.  It works every time.  Cal came over too and was hanging out inside the legos drawer to be close to the action!!  Ha!

Next picture: I think I hid Avi's "Woody" and Atley's "Airplane" 3 or 4 times this morning.  They were having a blast searching.  Sometimes it's an easy search and sometimes more challenging; like the one in the picture.  Woody is inside of Avi's pillowcase, directly in front of her, and Atley's airplane is in the same location at her pillow.  When they finally found them Avi said, "That was easy!"  Haha!

Last picture: Avi said, "Hey Gary!!  Look what I made!"  And she was peeking through the hole in her legos creation.  As you are probably aware of Avi will say, "Take a picture" after every single thing she builds or draws, and during every little maneuver she does.  "Watch me hop!"  "Did you get a picture?!?"  Ha!
