Svea - 8/13/2019

Svea ate whole wheat English muffin and most of dried plums for breakfast.  For lunch she ate a large serving of chicken with stir fry vegetables (with pineapple added - yum).  She also ate brown rice and no oranges.  It's kind of a quiet morning around here this week - and - next week will be short on numbers too.  Nora is gone the rest of the week, Avi is doing morning dance class all week, Atley is leaving Friday and gone next week, and Linnea is gone all next week.

This first picture is from yesterday afternoon and Linnea was trying to buckle the straps on the stroller.  Svea was trying to cooperate, but it was a difficult task!  :)  Not sure how adjusting the strap way down there is going to help keep Svea in the stroller.  Haha.

Next picture: Lauralea was testing Linnea and Svea for their upcoming developmental assessments.  I can say with confidence that Svea's receptive language is doing just fine.  It was fun to watch her respond to Lauralea's instructions.  Atley was concerned because she wasn't part of this assessment.  She said, "Hey, you forgot about me."  :)  Following picture: Svea playing with one of her babies.

Last picture: Svea has obviously been watching the "older" girls go off the yellow pieces backwards. The moment she got into position it was obvious what her intentions were.  And she was so excited and nervous about it!!  She kept looking at me and giggling.  (Zoom in on her face.)  And she finally just did it!  She's so fearless!  Hey, she did something on the blue balance beam earlier that totally impressed me!  She was standing up, dinking around, and began losing her balance.  In the middle of falling she managed to launch herself sideways to the mattress for a soft landing.  It all happened in s split second.  That was very cool and I loved how she reacted!!  A+

Svea ate toasted whole wheat English muffin and three servings of mandarin oranges for breakfast. For lunch she ate half of her ground beef, no whole wheat elbow noodles, no peas, and ate bites of applesauce. First picture: Svea is just getting started on coloring this picture, but she was actually too busy watching Nora color and studying Nora's picture. Then, just as I was taking the picture, Svea's marker rolled off the table and Svea managed to catch it before it hit the floor. She's explaining to Nora how such an amazing feat is even possible!! Haha! Nice catch Svea. Next picture: The girls are watching a "Chicken Dance" video and dancing/singing along with it. The boys, meanwhile, are marching to their own drum and Miles is chanting, "I fart, Pee Yew! I fart, Pee Yew! I fart, Pee Yew!!" And that's pretty much how classy us males are - speaking generally of course!! Except for Me and the Daycare Dads!! Haha. Last picture: More dancing!! This tim...

Svea ate kix cereal and mixed fruit for breakfast.  For lunch she ate ground turkey, no whole wheat hamburger bun, ate tomato, avocado, and three or four cherries.  At breakfast Svea started saying, "My turn to talk. My turn to talk."  Which is what the big girls say at the table; all talking and saying it at the same time. Ha.  At lunch I put mustard on my ground turkey and I told Avi you can't be a wuss and eat mustard.  Svea said, "That's right Gary."  Haha. Here's what Svea frequently says to Lauralea: "Can you swing me Lauralea?!?"  Or, "Swing me Lauralea, swing me!?!"  And here's what she's asking: Swing me back and forth and throw me on the mattress.  :) Today was toy exchange Monday and Svea was very busy all morning.  I think these pictures kind of capture some of her morning and her busyness.  Playing with the jingle bells, food toys, and in the third picture she's trying to put the cab of the legos truck on ...

Svea ate just a couple bites of breakfast: waffle and grapes.  For lunch she ate chicken, whole wheat tortilla, two servings of corn, and ate baked cinnamon apples. This first picture is left over from yesterday afternoon.  I took this picture because I like to catch Svea actually putting the puzzles together.  Good work Svea.  Second picture: More of the same this morning; playing with her babies. Next picture: Nora spends LOTS of time everyday dancing in front of the mirror.  During the time she went to her Preschool I never saw anyone continue this activity.  Well now she's back and here she is again.  Haha.  (Nora Boyle was the last one I remember doing this too!!  It's a "Nora thing.") Today Svea joined them as well.  So cute. Next picture: Svea was at the gate yelling to Avi and Atley (who were in the Preschool Room) and she was saying, "Look at me guys, look at me guys."  Then she started walking across the room...
