Svea - 05/26/2021

Svea ate a bite of whole wheat toast and ate mangoes for breakfast. For lunch she ate most of a large serving of ground beef with marinara sauce on top of whole wheat spaghetti noodles, ate cauliflower and ate fruit salad. All of the kids have enjoyed watching the new pictures we loaded on the digital frame and at meal time they frequently say, "new one!" "new one!" Also, here's a note connected to the pictures. Nora frequently gives positive affirmations to her friends. (Way more than any of the other kids.) At lunch she saw a picture of Svea and said, "You really look grown-up in that picture." Svea loved it.

Yesterday it was almost Snack Time and Avi needed to clear off the snack table. (Which I'd asked her to do.) Minutes later I told her that she needed "to get with the program." Svea liked that phrase and kept saying it. Then she told Avi, "You need to get with the program." Ha.

This first picture is left over from outside time yesterday afternoon. Svea put those balls on the end of the rod and said, "Hey Gary! This is a push-up thing." Haha. I knew what she meant - after all look at the visual!! However, Avi wanted to clarify and Avi said, "It's for a work-out." Yup, that was my guess. :)

Next picture: Svea did several activities in the Preschool Room and she's LOVING having the freedom to do chose those. And she's totally earned that by listening and following my Preschool rules and my instructions. Her first choice was to do some puzzles. 

Then about 10:00 she went and ran off some energy in the Daycare Room with the boys and they were all loving that as well. In this next picture Alexa is playing the sound track to one of the "Frozen" movies and Callahan and Svea are singing along. Svea was leading Cal in lots of make-believe play; "I'm gonna fall on the sidewalk and you have to take me to the house." "Then I'll take a nap." Etc, etc... They were just making it up as they went along. Miles was observing and participating when his spirit felt moved to do so! Haha.

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...
