Svea - 8/23/2019

Svea ate half of whole grain cream of wheat cereal and ate dried plums for breakfast.  For lunch she had a bite or two of baked beef kabobs with meat, peppers, pineapple, and zucchini.  She also ate brown rice and more pineapple on the side.

I had an idea for Svea practicing more words.  "Hey Avilene, ask your Sister to say some words.  You can help her and be her teacher."  Seriously and not surprising to me, Svea said EVERY word Avi asked her to say!!  At least 20 words until Svea got tired of the game.  (Avi wasn't ready to stop!)  It started off hilarious like this: Avi said, "Say butterfly."  "Say binoculars."  "Hey Avi, she's just learning to say words so use very easy words."  And Avi totally got that concept and used mostly one syllable words and sometimes two syllables.  You're welcome!!  :)

Here are some pictures from Svea's morning.  She likes hanging out with Callahan and interacting with him.  And she said, "Cal" again today.  Second picture; She was holding this cup in her mouth without using her hands and she was laughing the entire time.  She was pretty proud of herself and obviously found it quite amusing as well.
 

We spent time outside this morning while Cal was taking his morning nap.  Svea was playing in the little house and I just thought this was a cute picture.  Last picture; And of course they were on the airplane; Avi wanted to "drive," but that left the teeter-totter action one person short.  Ha!  So Nora just sat there and sucked her thumb.

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...
