Svea - 10/12/2021

Svea ate two servings of whole wheat English muffin and ate grapes for breakfast. For lunch she ate chicken, whole wheat toast, no broccoli, and no pineapple. So at breakfast Cal said, "Hey Gary, I can sing in Spanish!" And so he did; "Hola amigo; Como estas?" I'm fine my friend Cal and how are you? :) Yesterday Svea was saying Spanish words - primarily numbers - and I love that they have older siblings to learn from. And kids pick up language so fast!! Very cool!

First picture: Love my Svea snuggles AND it's a fun time for selfies too!! 

Next picture: Cal was hitting Svea so I had him go sit on the couch for a couple of minutes. What do the other two kids do!?! Go to the couch and join him!! Dang kids! Then for good measure, Miles starts pushing on Cal with his feet. Dang kids. Hahaha. But they like being in close proximity to each other! And we try to celebrate the times they play with very minimal conflict!! See the following two pictures!! In the third picture Svea is leading them in cheers. Primarily; "Go Broncos." She was also concerned about and examining a hole in the right knee of her pants.

Last picture; Svea used the blocks to make herself a "horse" and was riding it home to her house. Forget modern technology and get back to the basics!! Ha. She was leading Cal in some kind of make-believe play, but I couldn't follow what they were doing. Sometimes I don't think Cal knows either, but he's smart enough to just follow along with her!! Hahaha.

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...
