Nora - 4/28/2017

Nora wasn't interested in a bottle this morning.  For lunch she ate a few bites of elbow noodles, spit the tilapia out and tossed it across the highchair tray, ate a few bites of green beans, and ate several bites of applesauce.  I fed her the applesauce and I slipped several bites of tilapia into it!  Ha!  I feel so successful!  :)

This first note is from yesterday afternoon and is more about Reid than about Nora, but it's too cute to pass up!  :)  Reid was bonking himself in the head and Kenzie yelled at him; "REID!! That is NOT good!!  That can cause brain damage!!"  Reid simply responded; "Just make Nora laugh!"  And in fact he was being quite successful.  :)

Also from yesterday afternoon; I was changing Nora's poopy diaper and it was amazingly large.  I usually don't gasp, but this one was surprising!  Haha!  I said something like; "WHOA!  That's huge Nora!"  I didn't think about the older kids hearing me and I almost got stampeded!!  Reid, Kenzie, and Riley came charging over; "I wanna see!  I wanna see!  I wanna see!"

I saw Nora crawling into the toy shelf and I grabbed the camera to see what she was fetching!  She was definitely focused on something!!  Ah yes! One of the carrots she's been chewing on all week!  Then she momentarily dropped it to flash me a big cheesy smile!  Well done Nora!  :)  Also this morning she pulled herself to a standing position again using the big gate that leads into the rest of the house.  But not long enough to grab the camera.

Nora ate oatmeal and two servings of baked cinnamon apples for breakfast. For lunch she ate a large serving of hamburger stew with meat, carrots, green beans, tomatoes, potatoes, and onions. She ate whole wheat dinner roll and two servings of fruit cocktail.    Just in case anyone was wondering how many; this is the last of 836 Blogs for our sweet Nora. It's been such a joy for me to have Nora in my Program for all this time and I'm also thankful when she returned during the crazy covid time. I'm glad Miles will be here for another year which means I get to see Nora occasionally. I sure love all my Hansen family!! You guys are awesome. Here's a classic Nora comment from yesterday. The 3 oldest girls were at the table doing some Art. There was a clean piece of paper which had some paint or marker on the very top of it. And now no one will use it as they all consider it "ruined!!" Haha. Who did this? The denial was 100%. Nora said, "Gary, we all didn't...

Breakfast: French toast and plums. Avi said, "Not eating!" Ha. Ok, then Atley and Nora both followed suit! "Not eating!" Ha. I bet you guys will eat a big lunch and they did. Nora ate two servings of pulled pork, ate whole wheat toast, ate peas, and three servings of cantaloupe.    Nora; "I'm SO excited to start Kindergarten!!" Boy I've been hearing that phrase a lot lately and it is exciting!! What are you most excited about? Nora said, "I get to wear my mask." LOL That was SO cute. I laughed so hard. We could use her for a poster encouraging people to wear masks!! First picture; Yup, Nora's back in the house!! First things first; Get these fellas all lined up, organized, and ready to go!! Ha. She'd been here for maybe 5 minutes! Next picture: Nora said; "Gary! You got new markers!!" And that's true. So here's what I've finally  (ha - now that I'm close to retiring) learned about buying the large boxes o...

Nora ate blueberry bagel and two servings of grapes for breakfast. For lunch she ate shrimp, two servings of brown rice in berry juice, ate broccoli, and marion black berries.  At the meal table Nora saw a picture of Svea in the early years (ha) and said, "Look at you Svea! You were SO cute." Svea asked Nora, "Did you like me when I was that age?" What a super sweet conversation from both sides. Love it so much! This is kind of random, but in case anyone was wondering; I stopped doing the Spanish color words for the kids because - after listening to Alexa and Siri - I wasn't getting them correct and I didn't want the kids to have to unlearn and then relearn at Paxon. :)  First picture; Nora was building a tower with these little wooden blocks and you can see the "source of her supply." That would be Miles' hand. Haha. Later when Nora was done here Atley knocked this tower over and Nora said, "I wanted to knock it over." But Nora actua...
