Svea - 06/16/2022

Svea ate most of her French toast and ate all her dried plums for breakfast. For lunch she ate pulled pork, whole wheat toast, peas, and two servings of strawberries. 

First picture: Atley was looking at this book and Svea was playing the "Bop It" game, but was becoming more interested in the book all the time. (Avi's not seen the Bop It game, but I think she'll love it because it's based on speed.) It's telling you to "pull it" "bop it" or "twist it" and it all happens quickly. And of course, when you're too slow, it taunts you for being a "novice." Svea got a score of 8 which is pretty impressive for her age!!

Next two pictures: Ok, forget the "Bop It" game this is a pretty cool book. This is a "coffee table" book put together and self-published by a friend of mine. It's full of beautiful pictures and descriptions of flora and fauna of the Peace River Valley country of Central Alberta. (Her husband is a pilot so there are lots of pictures taken from above.) Svea saw the picture of the bald eagle landing and said, "Looks like a superhero!!" :)

Here are a couple more pictures from Svea's morning. Playing Slapjack with Atley. As you can see Atley was getting the jump on slapping this Joker, but Svea got her fair share too. Last picture: All the kids have been into the Sand Table lately. Miles insists that it's a "Sand Box." :) And I always forget and call it a Sand Table.

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...
