Svea - 02/10/2022

Svea chose not to eat breakfast: waffle and fruit cocktail. For lunch she ate ground turkey, whole wheat tortilla, bites of sweet potatoes, and no fresh mandarin oranges.

I'm sitting in my chair right now doing Blogs and Svea came running over and said/whispered, "I need to kiss you." "Huh?, What? Please repeat." "I need a tissue." Hahaha. Sometimes hearing loss is quite entertaining; but probably only for me and not anyone who has to put up with me!! :) 

First picture left over from yesterday afternoon during the Boy's Nap Time. The book Svea is looking at: I have a friend in Northern Alberta who is an amateur photographer and did a wonderful self-published book about flora and fauna in the Peace River Country where she and her husband live. (We have been to their place to visit them.) I text her this picture yesterday and told her I guess the book is just as interesting upside-down. :) She loved it.

Next picture: Svea was working hard at this little puzzle right after breakfast. She got it done and asked Cal if he wanted to join her. It was pretty cute because she was trying hard to help him be successful too. It's a small puzzle, but you have to be able to identify numbers and sequence them. AND you can turn the thing over and do it in the opposite direction! So she was giving him hints; "Can you find the 2?" "No that's not it." Then using color hints; "It's blue, next to the purple." 

Next picture: The kids played with the big blocks for a long time again today!! The mattress and the blocks; two of my oldest accessories and they still get played with the most!! After looking at this next picture you might think: A.) there is something very interesting for all three of them at this spot. B.) they are working together on the project. C.) They are having some kind of conflict. If you chose "C" you're correct. :) Last picture: They ended up building a pretty long substantial wall and Svea was testing the strength of it while testing her balance as well. Both tests came out positive. :) Cal was kind of strutting around like a turkey while Miles was watching Cal and giggling.

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...
