Svea - 09/09/2021

Svea ate two servings of blueberry bagel and ate peaches for breakfast. For lunch she ate ground beef, whole wheat pita bread, ate olives, and two servings of strawberries. 

First picture; Cal was working hard building with the blocks while Svea was doing some Art. ("Gary, I want a big heart, little heart, and medium sized heart." And she cut out all 3 of them with the scissors.) She wanted to immediately "take over" Cal's project and I vetoed that. So she's in an "inspector role" in this picture. And sure enough she said, "Cal, that block is leaning that way." Haha. Second picture: Svea and Cal were going somewhere. They have been doing lots of "dramatic play." Svea put on hat and boots and grabbed a hat for Cal; "Let me put that on for you!" Haha.

We went on a walk today; not to a playground, just on a field trip, The field by the Middle School has some interesting things to look at so we stopped there. Just an FYI, when Svea is pulling the wagon I walk beside the wagon because it frequently gets close to falling off the curb. Ha. (Look at where she's focused!) Second picture: First stop a folf course. :) Cal said, "Can we climb up there!?!" Well it's not made for climbing so I think we'll refrain. :) 

Next picture; More stuff to look at! You can see the benches in the background and that's where the kids played next. And then they found a good "trail" to run around and around and around. Svea said, "Can I take my jacket off; I'm getting sweaty." 25 Middle School kids were walking down the sidewalk past us while the kids played. All three of My kids were saying, "hi hi hi hi." The big kids were very friendly to my little people.

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...
