Avi - 8/19/2020

Ok, I did Avi's Journal and then I have no idea what happened and where it disappeared to!!  Let me know if you get two of them.  So I'm just gonna do Avi, Atley, and Nora's Journal the same just for today. I don't have time to redo the whole thing.  I'm still trying to get used to the new formatting!! 

So the Lunch conversation was most interesting today!!  I was dying laughing.  Atley was expounding; "Joe Biden is the President. Presidents have to help people. And they write on a piece of paper. Donald Trump doesn't say good words."  Nora said, "Why?"  Atley said, "Because he's a bad guy and some people like bad guys."  Again Atley emphasized the extreme difficultly of the presidency because they have to write on paper.  LOL!!  So I asked her if the president was working on his "ABC's?" Atley said, "I don't know what they do."  I said, "I don't either."  This reminded me of when Tate Templeton was about Svea's age and he came to Daycare one day and said, "I"m Barack Obama and I approve of this message."  :)

I've been working hard to help the three oldest girls work on solving conflicts in ways that do not include screaming, crying, hitting, or getting mad and saying things like, "You can't come to my house!"  "You can't play with my toys."  "I'm not going to buy you a birthday present."  (Yes I heard that one today!!)  Today Nora was yelling at Svea; "I don't like that Svea!!  I don't like that Svea! I don't like that Svea!"  I couldn't see that Svea was doing anything so I asked Nora, "what is Svea doing?"  Nora said, "She's peeking at my face."  Ok then.....so sometimes the conflicts are not what I consider super serious.  :)  But in Nora's mind it was obviously very serious.  

Both of the pictures from today involve the three girls playing together and they'v been doing this frequently so there have been lots of opportunities for conflict resolution!!  Playing at the Doll House and Playing with the cars in the hallway again.
