Svea - 11/30/2020

Svea ate a large serving of bran cereal and no raisins for breakfast.  For lunch she ate chicken, whole wheat pita bread, ate avocado, and two servings of pears. 

Next picture:  All five kids here today playing on the mattress.  Before Svea arrived Cal was wanting to know who's gonna be here.  "Avi coming? Avi coming?" No, she's at her camp.  "Vey Vey coming?  Vey Vey coming?"  Yes Svea's coming.  Atley's ponytail is flying and Svea's ponytails too.  Second picture: Nora and Svea were playing on the couch with all the soft things in the room.  Nora was peeking over the top to see how Svea was doing on her side of the room!!  :)

Next two pictures;  One minute Svea doesn't want Miles to touch her toys and she's screaming for my help.  The next minute she's offering the toy to him and encouraging him to take it.  That is super common in this age group and it's also one of the reasons I'm hesitant to immediately jump into a conflict.  I'm way more inclined to wait a few moments and see what transpires as long as no one is getting hurt of course. Following picture:  Svea not only gave up the toy (she'd been screaming about 4 minutes prior to the pictures, but now she gave up the seat of the chair as well.  She was now WAY more interested in her reflection in the mirror!!  Haha.  She told me; "Miles cute."

Last picture:  Svea asked if she could do some stickers and she worked super hard at it for a long time. Good work Svea.  This was shortly after breakfast and when Svea was sitting down for art she said, "Hey Gary, I don't wear a bib doing stickers."  Haha.  Nope you sure don't.

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...
