Avi - 2/19/2020

Avilene had two servings of whole wheat toast and ate mangoes and two servings of banana for breakfast.  (We ran out of mangoes so we substituted bananas for second servings.)  For lunch she ate two servings of ground beef with marinara sauce on top of whole wheat spaghetti noodles.  She had a couple big bites of cauliflower and ate fruit salad.

To anyone following Avilene's Daily Blog:  There will be NO Blog tomorrow, February 20th, as I have to report to Jury Duty tomorrow morning.  It's in Municipal Court so I don't anticipate this lasting more than a day at the most.  (Hopefully!)

I was thinking about Avi's language and she has a great vocabulary and is always curious about words; "What does that word mean?"  This morning I was having a difficult time understanding her and the only time that happens is when she uses ONE syllable words.  She frequently makes them into TWO syllable words.  Today's example is the word "hearts."  (plural)  Sounded like; "how-its." I kept asking her to repeat it and she's awesome at trying to help me understand!!  She started making the shape of a Valentine heart with her hands.  Ha!  That was super cute!!  I finally got it right before I drove her to total exasperation!!  :)

First picture is left over from yesterday afternoon.  Avi built this piece and said it was for "killing flies and mosquitos."  Then she was giving Atley and Nora (who was here while Mommy was feeding Miles) lessons on how to go about slapping and killing mosquitos.  Avi really emphasized the importance of this because "you want them to die because they will suck your blood!!!"  Haha! Atley looked slightly traumatized by that revelation!!  :)  Last picture: Looking for Woody and Airplane.  Nope, they are not in your water supply bucket.  :)
