Svea - 8/5/2019

Svea ate kix cereal and half of mixed fruit for breakfast.  For lunch she ate bites of ground beef/turkey, no whole wheat hamburger bun, bite of tomatoes, bites of avocado, and ate her cherries.

We did a toy, book, and puzzle exchange this weekend and the kids were very busy all morning.  Svea and Linnea were busy with the food toys.  You'll see more food toys in the 3rd picture as they were pretending to drink and eat food.

Next picture: Hit a big milestone today!!  Cheers for Svea! First time off the balance beam onto the mattress!  (It won't be long and she'll be going off the igloo!!  Haha!)  Here's how it normally progresses: First they go off the yellow blocks you see in the picture.  They're obviously closer to the mattress and the kids feel more secure.  Then they graduate to the next step and go off the blue balance beam like Svea is doing.  Well Svea did those two steps in about 5 minutes!  She went off the yellow one two times today and moved right to the blue!!  Haha!  "No problem!! I got this!!"  Here's some perspective: Linnea went off the yellow block last Friday for the first time.  And I'm sure that watching Linnea this morning motivated Svea.  However, Linnea hasn't yet moved to the blue one!  She's behind Svea in the picture on the yellow.

Next picture: This was pretty funny and cute.  If you could look at it in live mode you'd see Svea is making the fork go up and down with her teeth!  Linnea and I were giggling and you can see Svea is grinning around the fork and proud of herself.  :)

Svea - 08/18/2022

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...
