Svea - 09/07/2021

Svea ate whole wheat English muffin and ate half of her dried plums for breakfast. For lunch she ate chicken, no brown rice, no broccoli, and ate mandarin oranges.

I have a note left over from last Friday which I thought was pretty cute and funny. For context, Atley earlier in the week had said, "Svea, You're a genius." I asked, "Why did you say that?" Atley said, "Because she knows all about me!" Haha. So on Friday I heard Svea tell Cal, "You're a genius Cal." Cal said, "No I'm not." Svea was insistent of course; "Yes, you're a genius!! Ok!?!" Cal said, "Ok." LOL.

First two pictures: This was right after Svea arrived and when she plopped down on the floor Cal went over and plopped down on the floor too. She gave me the cutest look and I pretty much captured it with this picture. Second picture: Then she sitting on my knees and I was bouncing her pretty fast and crazy and she was roaring. Not real easy to do that AND take a picture. :)

Next picture: Initially it was just Cal asking Miles to help him take off his sock. Miles was pulling hard, but not getting it off. It didn't help that Cal started kicking his leg as well. Haha. Meanwhile Svea grabbed the sock too, but as you can see from the picture she and Cal were NOT working together. Ha. But we eventually got it off. :)

Next picture: Cal and Miles were still eating breakfast in their highchairs and Svea set up between them and started building "a castle." (Her words.) Then she added; "So Cal can watch." :) Last picture: Svea worked hard to build a "cave" around the cozy corner. And she did it all by herself while the boys watched; which she preferred that anyhow. It's too much work to build it AND boss the boys around too. :) Then she eventually took it down and reassembled it around the block storage cabinet.

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...
