Svea - 9/15/2020

Just want to do a FYI for everyone.  My daughter Christina and Grandson Gideon will be here later today.  So excited to have them coming for a couple of weeks.  I think this is day 20 they've been without electricity in Louisiana from hurricane Laura.  (Think of the heat without air conditioning!!)  Also, I just want to mention that when the air quality is in the hazardous range I will not be taking the children outside.  I have two air purifiers from the Health Department (One was free! ahh, not really free. Thanks to all of us tax payers.) to help with the inside air while the smoke remains.  

Svea ate two servings of waffle and two servings of grapes for breakfast.  For Lunch she ate chicken, half of whole wheat tortillas, ate corn, and ate baked cinnamon apples.  

This first picture is left over from yesterday.  I like this because it's basically how Svea likes to play; get ALL the toys from that set!  (See the 5 cars on top of the car ramp.)  Next two pictures; Trying on the hard hat and looking at herself in the mirror.  Following picture is a bit blurry, but I had to take it in a hurry. She was moving in for a smooch and it was so dang cute.  Gave herself a big kiss.  :)

Next picture; Atley helped Nora and Svea get all cozy in their spot.  This is their usual MO: Atley does the work getting all the stuff for them, but Atley has no interest in laying there!  I asked, "What are you guys playing?"  Atley said, "We are playing Christmas."  Haha.  (That would not have been my first guess!) My next question is pretty obvious!!  "What part of Christmas does this represent?"  Atley said, "We're sleeping and waiting for Santa Claus to bring us presents."  So cute.  Nora said, "Atley, build us a Christmas Tree!"  Haha.  Last picture: Svea and Nora are in their "cave" under the balance beam and Callahan is trying to see them.  You can see Atley as well and again she's basically the one who was doing all the work establishing "darkness" in their cave!!

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...
