Svea - 11/19/2020

Svea ate two servings of blueberry bagel and two servings of peaches for breakfast.  For lunch she ate bites of pork roast, no whole wheat tortillas, ate carrots, and ate fruit salad.  Speaking of meals the Program Monitor for CACFP (Federal Food Program) wanted to do one of their monitoring sessions today via Zoom.  Haha. Ok, that's fine with me as long as you don't mind the kids doing what kids do!!  I sat the computer on the art supplies cabinet and the three oldest girls were jumping up and down in front of the monitor so the lady could see them.  :)  But she was happy because I had all the proper paper work.  Thank you Parents for faithfully signing in-and-out which is one of several documents she needs to see.  

Svea says funny little things that make me laugh.  This morning I asked her what she did last night and she told me what she DIDN'T do.  Haha.  "I did not chase squirrels."  :)
"Gary!!  The PS guy is at your house!"  Avi heard that and said, "No, it's the PUS guy!"  That hit my funny bone.  Lauralea heard that conversation and was laughing as well.  Well Avi, at least you had the correct 3 letters even if they're out of order.  

First picture:  This is left over from yesterday afternoon.  Svea was playing very quietly and I come around the corner and she's got the little people all arranged in this house.  Second picture:  She was feeling pretty snuggly in her PJ's this morning.  

SCIENCE WITH LAURALEA!!  Science is fun.  The theme today was "AIR."  This is basically a copy and paste from Avi's Blog, but I wanted you to see Svea's participation too.  So I'm showing you two of the experiments.  The kids easily blew out a candle and then we got out the funnels.  Avi and Atley had the large funnels and they blew as hard as they could and didn't hardly make the flame on the candle flicker.  The air follows the sides of the funnel.  Svea had the smallest funnel, MUCH smaller than Avi and Atley's, and she was the only one who blew out the candle.  Nora's funnel is slightly bigger than Svea's. We did several things with the blow dryer, but in the last picture the kids had fun keeping a ping pong ball in the air.  With a stronger blow dryer you can keep several balls in the air.  We also used a small balloon and the kids loved that and were laughing like crazy.

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...
