Nora - 4/7/2017

Nora ate bites of malt-o-meal cereal and loved the dried plums for breakfast.  She drank 5 oz at 10:15. She had a few bites of lunch: beef steak, brown rice, vegetables (zucchini, mushrooms, red peppers), and pineapple.

This first picture is from yesterday afternoon when Riley was playing with Nora.  Riley is the sweetest "little Mommy" and she adores Nora.  Hudson looked at this picture this morning and asked, "Nora crying?"  He was concerned.  :)

This picture from this morning looks kind of familiar right!?!  If someone is reading this Blog for the first time today, look at yesterday's Blog and see the explanation with the picture where Hudson is "fanning" Nora with the pillow.  This was so cute because Avi actually started doing this from several feet back and then just slowly worked her way toward Nora while continuing to fan the pillow!

For the last 2 or 3 three days I've been finding Board books that the pages are being split in half and the worn covers peeled back.  Well I finally caught the little culprit!  LOL!!  (No worries!!  This is totally normal and age appropriate!!  When Avi was Nora's age she was "eating" the board books!  Like in the binding and actually producing HOLES!  Ha!)  Anyhow, Nora's small motor skills are such that she's able to find a worn edge that's just starting to peel away and she'll work at it until she has split the page in half!!  LOTS of my board books are held together by packing tape!!  And that's also why I have what I call "special books" that are not accessible to the kids.  (There are probably 250 books in the 8 toy exchanges and another 50 Special Books.)

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...
