Athena

Our next door neighbors invited us to their home for dinner after I watched their dog for three weeks. While at this dinner social I was asking my boys where they want to have their birthday parties this summer. Ty said "The USO", Luke said "Our house." Then the boys asked Athena where she would want her next birthday party. She responded "Here!"
Apparently the neighbors house with the dog is her wish for a birthday venue! lol
She was disappointed to learn they are moving this year.


Athena still loves animals and bugs. She talks to them.
We were on our way to a playground this morning, Athena on her balance bike and I on foot. As we went Athena saw a butterfly "having a good day?" she asked happily.
Then we passed a bird "Hello bird!"
She also spoke to ants and more along the way.

She still is (mostly) like Snow White. Except that Athena stomps on ants and spiders sometimes.
And she collects many bugs, places them in her bug container and leaves them there until they die.
She is always collecting more bugs and she knows they will die there. But she loves seeing them and holding them too!


I want fruit! Never mind.

Tiberias is always in the mood for fruit. Latley, frozen fruit especially. One evening I did not allow him to have some for his snack. So, the next morning I made him a fruit crepe.
He said "Mom, i am not in the mood for fruit." And he did not eat it!!!
So, it became my breakfast. And it was amazing!!

Sterling said "You should have made him eat it!" And I know, if I had, he would have loved it.
