Svea - 10/07/2021

Svea ate most of blueberry bagel and most of peaches for breakfast. For lunch she ate a bite of hamburger & sausage pizza with the meats, peppers, pineapple, olives, and tomato sauce. She ate whole wheat pizza crust (which we serve on the side), and had a bite of pineapple. 

Svea has said this before and it made me laugh again!! "Gary, after January first I want my birthday to be Tember eleven." Haha. Ok, but why do you want to change it? She said, "Because Atley and Avi had the funnest birthdays in Tember!! Ok, that makes total sense! :)

This first picture is from yesterday afternoon when Svea and Cal were playing with the noodles. Svea said, "Cal!! Look at my magnifying glass! I can see light in my noodle!!" "Cal! Do you see light in your noodle!?" Meanwhile Avilene was playing with the fly swatter chasing box elder bugs and knew I was gonna take a picture! So she ran to the fence and sticks the fly swatter through the fence. Haha.

Next picture: Svea has been asking the boys if they want water and then she goes and gets the waters. I still have 6 identical bottles with names on the bottles. She has figured out what Miles' and Cal's names look like and gladly retrieves them. And the boys immediately sit on the step waiting for the water. Miles kept scooting closer to Cal and Cal kept scooting over until half of his butt cheek is off the step.:) Following picture: Svea said, "Hey Gary! Look! All my letters are out of the water!!" Yes they are; you've drank a lot of water this week.

Next picture: Cal did 3 or 4 puzzles before he got tired of it and Svea was offering lots of encouragement. She cheered and clapped when he was successful. She said things like this; "Turn it around." "That corner goes in that corner." "It's in a tricky spot." Ha. "That's a tricky one!!" That was very sweet how she wanted him to be successful. 

Last picture: The kids colored some coffee filters and then I sprayed water on them and as usual they are very pretty. I forgot to take a picture so I asked them to "come and look at your art so I can take a picture." And they took their assignment very seriously; Look at the boys staring at the art work. Ha. Thank you everyone for the nice picture.

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...
