Svea - 12/14/2021

Svea ate blueberry bagel and ate several grapes for breakfast. She did not want to try any lunch: shrimp, brown rice, broccoli, and mixed berries. 

Svea stayed busy all morning; most of the time doing activities in the Preschool Room. In the first picture she was working on a Gingerbread House (at least that's what I think it is) she brought from home. In the second picture she moved on to balancing cargo on the pirate ship. This is actually a pretty challenging balance activity. And a new one that I'll have to show to Avi because she likes those.

Next picture: Svea plays this next game the same way Avi, Atley, and Nora always played it; from point-blank range!! Ha. The game has a voice that tells you if you're successful or not and you're supposed to throw the "bone" to the right dog. (The color lights up.) It says, "Throw the dog a bone." Following picture: I helped Svea get started with the puzzle for a few minutes and then she wanted to finish it by herself. Good work Svea.

Last picture: Miles was sorting strawberries back-n-forth from cup to bowl, cup to bowl, over and over. Svea came along and wanted the strawberries, of course, and so Miles willingly gave them up. I watched closely on the follow-up to this exchange and he was fine with giving them up. Sometimes that age will hand it off, but not realize it's not coming back very soon. You're a sweet boy Miles and that was a sweet gesture to your friend Svea.

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...
