Avilene was pretty upset when she arrived and said she didn't want to eat breakfast. She ate a good lunch - ate chicken, two servings of whole wheat pita bread, ate avocado, cucumbers, and two servings of pears.
I just mentioned she was upset and she had quite a list of grievances against everyone. Later (much later) after she'd calmed down we talked about it again. I pointed out to her that she was blaming everyone else for how her morning had started. So I was curious if she could see how SHE could have made different decisions and changed her morning and she was able to do that. Good job Avi. She said, "I could have gotten up earlier so I would have had time to eat peanut butter toast."
So here are some pictures from Avi's morning. We did a toy, book, and puzzle exchange, but she really wasn't in a mood to engage in anything for awhile. She snuggled with me for awhile and as you an see in the picture that was helpful. Second picture - she hung out in the Daycare Room with the little guys and played with them for awhile.
Next picture: Lauralea came through and commented on Avi's bright colored jacket (Lauralea called it a shirt and Avi set her straight) and the little boys immediately started pointing out their beautiful shirts as well. Ha. Last picture: The 3 big girls spent a LONG time working with Mr Potato Head. There are 4 completed ones lined up in front of Nora. Avi's is the Pirate. (He has 1 boot and a "peg-leg.") I'm still proud of this Potato Head score at a Garage Sale!! Haha. There are 8 bodies and LOTS of accessories all in excellent shape for $25. Nora decided it was time to look "cross-eyed" when I took the picture! Ha.
