Avilene ate raisin English muffin and a few dried plums for breakfast. For lunch she ate half of her chicken, no brown rice, most of broccoli, and two servings of mandarin oranges. I rewarded her with an extra serving of mandarin oranges because she worked so hard to eat her broccoli; which she announced she did not like after one bite. Avi forms very strong opinions about things, and in this case I'm talking food, and she doesn't like to try a nibble if she's sure she doesn't like it. She really did not like "Science with Lauralea" last week because we were "taste testing" many different things. She told Lauralea afterwards, "I didn't like Science this time!" Lauralea said, "That's ok, you'll probably like it more next time."
The first two pictures are left over from yesterday afternoon. Avi asked if she could us the fly swatter to hunt some flies. Ha. It's a good time to hunt flies early in the spring because they don't move so fast. Ha. And now you know. Next picture; Atley asked if she could use the "roller magnetic thing" and then Avi used it. It really is a pretty cool little tool for picking up pieces of metal leftover from my work project; putting metal siding on the garage. They have been finding quite a few pieces with the shorter grass before it starts to grow. Good work and thank you Atley and Avi!
Next picture: Avi was the "police" and she had these three girls in "jail." Nobody looks too distressed and Nora seems like she might meditate her time away in lockup! Haha. Last picture: Playing Avi's matching Game again. Look at Avi's serious concentration and poker face. Ha. She's so competitive and she's dang amazing at this game. She concentrates and remembers the location. Even if I wasn't color-blind, she'd smoke me in this game. We've been working on expressing "good job" when our friends do well. Avi did it this morning (for the first time) on her own without prompting. She said, "Good job Nora." That may not sound like a big deal, but it's a big deal! There was even a hint of sincerity! Ha. Way to listen to my words and try to apply them Avilene. That's a good life lesson.
