Svea - 7/15/2019
Svea ate cheerios and no banana for breakfast. For lunch she ate bites of ground beef, no whole wheat pita bread, ate half of her olives, bites of avocado, and ate most of her watermelon.
We had a wonderful vacation; I took a good hike every day for 8 days straight and my favorite hikes were on the continental divide trail in different locations. We did tons of reading and played several board games and card games. There was no cell service at the Forest Service cabin or electricity so it was like the "good old days." (Haha! Actually, these are the good days! I love modern living and technology!!)
Everyone was giddy and silly this morning - as it usually is coming back from several days away! So of course there had to be a surprise bonus to the morning; A Representative from Child Care State Licensing made a surprise appearance. :) She had to look at the Children's files, my Policies, Master Phone List, Fire Evacuation Plan, Disaster Plan, Visually Inspect every room the children have access to, Inspect outside play area, and the list goes on and on!! And she had tons of questions as well. So it's a challenge to answer her and still be partially focused on the kids! Wow! Callahan got hungry in the middle of this of course, but overall we all survived!! Haha! It's not easy when a stranger appears and she wants access to everything. (And she wants it right now!) Hey, guess what!?! No deficiencies!! Cheers!! (Lauralea is an awesome consultant and keeps me up to date on ALL policy changes, so I give her lots of credit for this too!!)
Svea had an awesome morning; came in happy and glad to be back! She played steady and hard all morning and was probably my "least needy" child this morning. With one exception; when the State Inspector arrived. I held Svea for a few minutes, but Svea was soon just fine to continue playing! In the first picture she is looking at me out of her left eye through the the webbing in Avi's cap. And laughing. :) Second picture: I took this shortly after breakfast when Linnea and Svea were playing on the floor discussing their adventures away from Little Treasures!! :) Last two pictures: Playing with the sorter/shape containers and wearing dress-up clothes. She brought this piece for me to put on her.
