Svea - 04/04/2022

Svea ate Cheerios and no banana for breakfast. For lunch she ate ground beef topped with avocado, whole wheat pita bread, olives, and two large servings of strawberries. 
I already shared some of this information with Parents, but we had the best time on the Upper Oregon coast last week and thank you all for allowing us to do that. We learned lots about digging Clams, and I walked many trails learning about where Lewis & Clark spent the winter before their return trip. I learned some Maritime history about the area as well as some Military history. (All are favorite subjects of mine!)

First picture: At breakfast Svea randomly said, "Gary, don't make me smile when I'm eating." Ha. (I wasn't aware I was doing anything!! Haha.) Earlier I'd told Lauralea that "Svea painted her doll's face." Svea said, "No, I colored it." Ha.  
We did a toy, book, and puzzle exchange yesterday and Svea said, "Gary, I think this is my favorite toy exchange because it has ice cream." (Side note: I had to go look again because there is no ice cream in this toy exchange!! Haha.)

Next picture: Svea was showing me proper etiquette for drinking tea. Haha. Look at her pinky - on BOTH hands. Ha. She said, "This is how you drink tea with your pinky out." Following picture: Svea said, "Gary, this is a performance picnic. When you get tired of dancing you can pick one of the food up." :)

Last picture; I'm calling this a "Portrait of a Modern Couple." Ha. Why talk directly when you have your phone handy!?! At least they're NOT texting!! :)

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...
