Svea - 01/06/2022

Svea chose not to eat blueberry bagel and peaches for breakfast. For lunch she made the same decision: No hamburger & sausage pizza with meat, olives, pineapple, peppers, and tomato sauce. No whole wheat pizza crust and pineapple on the side. 

I thought Svea had said the word "pharmacy," but I had misunderstood her. I still asked, "What's a pharmacy?" She didn't know, but she gave the most logical guess!! "A place where animals live." It took me a second to think of; "farm-a-see." Perfect and so logical. Nice guess Svea. How cute is that!?

First picture: Svea asked if she could hide the eggs. I've kept the eggs available since last Easter and it's amazing how often the kids have asked for them. The big girls and Svea played with them SO much and now Svea has the boys involved as well. I like how she has her hand on her hip keeping a close eye on their progress and she frequently gives them enormously easy hints! Haha. Second picture: They don't need too many hints when Cal "hides" the eggs. Fifty percent of the eggs right there!! Haha. 

Next picture: Svea was busy while the boys were eating breakfast and built this house with the blocks. She's on the toy shelf and she said, "This is my bedroom and (pointing at Cal) that's Cal's bedroom." Later Miles joined in the fun (after I expanded Cal's bedroom so Miles had a bed too) and Svea said, "Calm Down!! When your Mother says it's time to go to sleep it's time to go to sleep!!" LOL

Last picture: Svea worked hard to set up all the food and arrangements while Cal was basically an observer during this part, but he does contribute his thoughts and ideas as the play progresses. What are you guys doing? Svea said, "Setting up our tea party; and the wolf is trying to eat us." They were so involved in this for at least 40 minutes. Earlier, during the initial set-up Cal said, "I impressed with you Vay Vay." That was SO cute.

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...
