Svea - 12/07/2021

Svea ate whole wheat English muffin and ate a few grapes for breakfast. For lunch she ate most of her pork roast, ate whole wheat toast, ate most of her beets, and a bite of applesauce.

This week Svea has been quizzing me about "opposites." (And talking about rhyming words.) Today she asked if "Gone" and "Here" are opposites. Wow, I thought that was a pretty good question!
Here's a random statement from Svea this morning; "I don't want to be in School. I want to be in Ballet." Oh really? She continued, "Mama said only one pick, so I pick Ballet." :)

First picture: Svea waiting for me to read some books and we've been doing lots of Christmas books. She's holding one of her favorites: "The Twelve Days of Christmas." She sings most of the song with me and finishes most of the verses. Today she was occasionally singing some silly words and here are a couple examples. Third day of Christmas is "Three French Hens." She said, "Three French Chickens." Then later replaced "Five Gold Rings" with "Five Golden Chickens." I was laughing hard and of course she LOVED making me laugh. Little Cutie.

Next picture: Svea was kind of dinking around on the hardwood floor with her socks on and I warned her about it being slippery. About that time "Thump!" It sounded to me like she hit hard. She said, "Gary that didn't hurt because I have on my leggings!" Haha. 

Next picture: The kids were running in circles using the step as part of their track. And they did it for a long time. Svea and Cal would occasionally lap Miles, but he didn't care or maybe he didn't even notice. Ha. You never know with this age group. Sometimes they see everything and miss nothing. Sometimes, well it's just the opposite. Last picture: Svea built with the legos for at least 30 minutes. I took this picture when she was just getting started and she told me the top legos in the picture said, "The Store is closed and will open later." Ha. I love her creativity.

Svea - 08/18/2022

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...
