Svea - 9/22/2020

Svea ate a bite of raisin cinnamon English muffin and ate two servings of dried plums for breakfast.  For lunch she ate bites of chicken stir fry, bites of brown rice, and ate mandarin oranges.  

Ok, I'm gonna tell a poop story.  If that grosses you out, then you better skip to the next paragraph!  I was in the kitchen at the sink and the big girls, primarily Avi and Atley, were yelling that there was "poop on the floor!!"  I went running out and sure enough Callahan had a few little piles of poop in a small area; maybe two feet in diameter.  (Avi had picked up some poop on her socks!)  Ok, this is not the first time for that and I did the smartest thing I could think of; yell for help!!  "HEY LAURALEA!!"  I'll bet she's glad she's working from home!  LOL!!  I seriously owe her a big bonus!!  Again.  I put Cal in the sink in the entry room (again) and Lauralea worked on the floor.  But here's the kicker to the story:  Right in the middle of all this Svea says, "Gary, I'm poopy."  And she was, but it was dripping down to the floor too!!  Probably six spots!!  What the Heck!!  That's a first; I've never had two kids squirting on the floor at the same time!!  Svea had her legs spread and was leaning against the end of the couch and she didn't move.  You listened so well Svea and you waited patiently for several minutes.  Good work Svea!!  

These first two pictures are left over from yesterday afternoon.  Svea occupying the viewing section while I change a poopy diaper.  She said, "That stinks." And then she was plugging her nose.  Well you know you could move and get away from the smell!!  :)  Svea and Nora are under the parachute in the second picture and riding on the teeter-totter.  They had so much fun; well at least there was LOTS of giggling and laughing and it continued for 10 - 15 minutes.  

Last picture:  Here is Miles and Cal disrupting Svea and Nora's cave.  The girls are in the cave and they yell every time someone tugs on the entrance blanket.  Their yelling didn't faze the boys one bit; or maybe it gave them incentive to pull harder.

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...
