Svea - 12/31/2020

Svea ate French toast and ate dried plums for breakfast.  For lunch she ate most of pulled pork, no whole wheat toast, ate peas, and ate strawberries/mangoes.  Lauralea was being silly at Lunch and pretending to cry; she's actually pretty good at it.  They were all laughing, Avi was laughing REALLY hard, and Svea must have liked it because she asked, "Can you cry again!?!"  Haha.  Also at Lunch Atley told Svea; "I'm sorry I can't go to your Birthday Svea."  

Hey Molly, I showed Nora the picture what Avi is getting Svea for her Birthday.  Oh man, Nora was impressed!!  Her face looked like a light bulb and her voice was literally quivering!!  "Oooohhhhh."  Hahaha.

This first picture is left over from yesterday afternoon when the kids were playing in a "fort" we built using one of our outside blankets.  All the girls are in there and Miles was in and out.  Second picture: Miles was trying hard to stick his finger in Svea's mouth and she was super inclined to just let him!! Ha! Those are a couple of cuties right there!!

As everyone knows by now, it's Thursday and that means one thing!!  "Science with Lauralea!!"  I told Svea that there is no thumb sucking at the Preschool table.  After Science time (which took a majority of the morning) the kids were in the Daycare Room and Nora said, "NOW can I suck my thumb!?!"  Ha! Today's theme was "Water."  And we did lots of activities and experiments with water; at least 6.  Here are a couple examples;  We did lots of "Predicting" and letting them guess and you'll see a picture of the chart in Avi's Blog.  First picture;  Will oil sink or float?  Second picture:  Aluminum foil and pennies.  The foil floated, the pennies sank.  So we made a "boat" with the aluminum foil and guessed how many pennies it would take to "sink the boat."  40 Pennies!!  The kids LOVE these experiments and activities and I love their responses during this time.  Look at their focus in these pictures!

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...
