Svea - 04/18/2022

Svea ate bran cereal and no raisins for breakfast. For lunch she ate chicken topped with avocado, ate whole wheat pita bread, a few bites of cucumbers, and no pears.

First picture: We did a toy, book, and puzzle exchange this weekend and the kids were engaged all morning. However, I took this picture shortly after arrival and Svea was still very much into her make-up kit she brought with her. Cal was trying to play with some toys and meanwhile Svea was trying to convince him that she needed to slather some make-up on his face. Ha! 

Next two pictures: Eventually Svea abandoned the make-up bag and focused on Activities in the Play Room. She wanted Cal to play the Lady Bug game with her, but he was more interested in a building activity. So they played side-by-side and that worked fine. Second picture is basically more of the same; Svea was activity building with these and Cal would check in on her progress. Ha. Svea did both of these activities for a LONG time and the majority of the time she was doing it by herself.

Last picture: It's highly entertaining for me to watch these two playing at the doll house. Svea, as she always does, is creating an elaborate make-believe system that involves a lot of characters. AND it's always moving and changing!! They're going to the "park, the museum, the carousel, P-Burg, Easter egg hunt, get groceries, get ice cream," and more and more. When I took this picture Svea was asking, "Cal, are you ready for them to go pick up the baby?" No wonder his head is cocked-off sideways!! Haha!

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...
