Svea - 11/10/2021

Svea ate half of her whole wheat English muffin and ate grapes for breakfast. For lunch she ate half of her pork chop serving, half of her whole wheat toast, ate beets, and applesauce.

I took this first picture shortly after Svea's arrival and Miles had not yet arrived. This is why Svea does so well in a Child Care setting: she self-entertains so well and is totally absorbed in her imaginary play!! I love it and I love how dramatic and imaginative she plays. In the second picture Svea was watching Lauralea put together a family photo poster for her Parent's Nursing Home room. Just an FYI, they are being moved to a facility in Ronan so it will be a much shorter drive for family.

Next picture: Miles arrived and immediately went for the school buses! This is his "toy exchange" day so everything was new and different! I should mention that Svea and Miles are the only kids here this morning and Svea was trying HARD to distract him - to no avail. She was saying, "Miles! Let's go to the carousel!! Miles! Let's go to the carousel!!" Following picture: Svea eventually succeeded in coaxing Miles away from the school buses - for a very short period of time I must add!! And did it by building the "boat" you see in the picture. "Miles! Do you want to ride my boat!? Miles! Do you want to ride my boat!?" ...Pause... "Miles ! Get on the boat!!" :)

Next picture; Svea and Miles were working on their Art papers at the table. Svea had drawn several dots and then was doing a "connect-the-dots." She said it was her "butterfly." Miles was watching her work very intently and started pounding with his marker to make some dots. Ha. Last picture: Svea also spent some time at the doll house and she told me; "I painted my unicorns and put them to bed." Haha. She was also using a little paint brush painting our walls.

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...
