Svea - 11/11/2020

Svea ate French toast and two servings of strawberries for breakfast.  For lunch she ate bites of hearty paleo stew with meat, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, tomatoes, green beans, and sweet potatoes.  She ate saltines and half of tropical fruit.  At the breakfast table I asked the kids, like I do just about every day, 
"What did you do last night?"  If I don't get an answer especially from the little ones I'll frequently say silly things like "Did you chase squirrels?"  This morning Svea thought about it for 20 seconds and then she said, with a big grin on her face, "Catch squirrels."  Haha.  Good one Svea!!

First picture: Callahan joining Svea in using the combs.  Svea has much more practice staring at the mirror and she knows you're supposed to look in the mirror when you comb.  Haha.

I was cleaning up the breakfast table and Svea was at the gate saying, "Hey Gary, hey Gary, hey Gary."  Yes Svea?  She was quiet for a moment and said, "I love you."  That's their go-to phrase when they can't think of anything else to say, but it's still sweet.  I love you too Svea.  In the next picture she's asking, "Will you snuggle me?"  So I was saying it back to her; "Will you snuggle me?"  Following picture: Yes, I'd love to snuggle you Svea.

Last picture:  Lauralea has Veteran's Day off so she did "Science with Lauralea" today instead of tomorrow. They did some experiments with straws and this one also included food coloring with milk and watching the food coloring move around even though no one was touching the table.  In the picture they actually have 2 straws and the second straw is short.  With the second short straw, no matter how hard you suck you can't get the milk to your mouth.  As long as the second straw isn't in the liquid you're just sucking air.

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...
