Svea - 10/05/2021

Svea ate whole wheat English muffin and dried plums for breakfast. For lunch she ate no pork roast, ate whole wheat tortillas, no carrots, no potatoes, and ate mango/strawberry mix. So at breakfast the conversation was all Toddler/Preschool logic. Cal said, "I don't like little people." I said, "Well you are little people!" Cal said, "I am a big people." Haha. Cal and Svea decided; "Yesterday is right now!" Ha.

First two pictures: Svea's wall of blocks actually survived over night and part of the morning. They were drumming on the blocks and then flopping over backward onto the mattress. In the second picture Svea laid out pillows for a sleeping area and she got cooperation at least for a few minutes. Shortly after I took this picture Svea dismantled the block wall and built something different. 

Next picture: They were all excited to go on a wagon ride and look at the Halloween decorations across the street again. The neighbors have added several more items since we last visited. As we were leaving Cal said to Svea, "I don't want you sitting by me in the wagon." Svea said, "I know that." Ha. Reason? Because it's too crowded. She's big enough to walk with me, but she likes to ride and Miles is fine with the cozy ride. :)

Next picture; We stopped by Meadow Hill School again and the kids were immediately checking out the rocks again. Svea was looking for "shiny rocks." Last picture: They like to run around and around this storm drain with the sloped concrete. It's totally safe as the openings are too small for their shoes to get stuck. What do you guys see in there? "Candy wrappers."

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...
