Svea - 05/20/2022

Svea ate oatmeal and no apple bites for breakfast. For lunch she ate ground beef, no whole wheat dinner roll, ate bites of carrots, and ate fruit cocktail.

We read lots of "Preschool Books" during Story time. I make that (Preschool) distinction by the amount of words on the pages, the length of the stories, and the types of stories. When we were done Svea said, "I like that one the best." She was pointing at "A Sip of Aesop." (Which is a small collection of a few of his fables.) That surprised me, but I think it was the illustrations she liked the best. Although there are probably pieces of them that she does understand.

First picture: Svea asked if they could do some Dot Painting and the kids had fun with that. When I took this picture they were discussing (ie, arguing - ha) about Miles' picture. Svea said, "Cal! I KNOW you love red!! But that's pink!" Haha. I try not to intervene in those moments and let them work it out. Especially when it has to do with colors!! Ha. I've labeled these bottles (for me) and that one said "red."

Next picture: Svea finished her beautiful flower picture and then did more dot painting on the back. Well her paper got soft and a hole appeared! So she determined it would be good to make another hole and use it for a mask. Haha. Which was fine, except she didn't know you had to have the holes the right distance apart to see through both holes at the same time. :) So we measured. Last picture: Then she went and stood above Cal and Miles and demanded they look at her. "Look at Me!" "I said Look at me!" Finally Cal said, "I want you to stop; it's too scary!" 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...
