Svea - 01/04/2022

Svea ate two servings of toasted raisin/cinnamon English muffin and ate dried plums for breakfast. For lunch she ate no chicken, no brown rice, no broccoli, and ate her strawberries. This isn't about Svea, but I think you may like it. Cal (concerned that Miles wasn't gonna eat his chicken) said, "Meat is good for you Miles!!" So when the meal was over Miles had eaten ALL of his chicken and Cal had NO bites of his. :) Ahhh, the quandary of our humanness begins early! :) We always know what's best for everyone else.  

So remember what I said yesterday about the kids playing with minimal conflict? Well this is a new day and much more typical I must add!! Haha. Especially between Miles and Cal. And so the teaching and reminding continues. However Svea has really been doing awesome asking for my help today; "Help me Gary," instead of screaming. She's starting to get that consistently and it's becoming a habit. Good work Svea. I'm super proud of you!! Especially when dealing with Miles. Conflict with Cal will be the true test and they've not had conflict yet today.

First picture: Svea doing a Preschool matching activity and some of the associations in the "matches" made her think outside the box a little bit and I was impressed how well she did. Second picture: I played another (faces) matching game with her and she won by a large margin. :) She spends so much time basking in every little victory along the way (this is NOT a bad thing) and she ends up playing SO slow. Totally hilarious. It was fun. We've played this game so much (with the older girls too) that we have names for lots of the faces on the cards; "cheesy boy, freckles, smiley face, crooked smile," etc.

Last two pictures; Svea was sharing her goodies she brought from home with the boys and Cal was enjoying playing with the "hair dryer." It doesn't blow very strong so I'm not sure Miles was aware Cal was blowing his hair! We got some batteries in it and Svea kept telling Cal to turn it off because it was gonna make the batteries go dead. Haha. Last picture; Svea told the boys, "We all have to put a hair clip in our hair." And they were totally ok with it. :) Cuteness.

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...
