Nora - 6/6/2017

Nora ate bites of whole wheat bagel and LOTS of grapes for breakfast.  She loves grapes!  It's the only food I serve that I've seen her "double-fisting" it!  Haha!  Using both hands and quivering with excitement!  Speaking of excitement - you should have heard her when Reid arrived about 11:00.  It was a combination of squeals and chirps all done in staccato!!  A certain rhythm and sound that is hard to describe!  Haha!!  For lunch she tasted the shrimp, turned her cheek to the brown rice, ate a bite or two of stir fry vegetables, and ate mixed berries.  This blend of berries has pomegranate seeds and she loved them.  Sophie said, "I don't like the nuts in my berries!!"  Ha!

Nora can basically pull herself up anywhere she chooses.  She's been standing up just using the wall to give her extra balance and security.  I took this first picture when she pulled herself up using the balance bar at the mirror.  That was the first time I've seen her do that.  If you look closely at the picture she is examining her tongue.  Later, she was sitting in front of "her" mirror looking at her tongue again; except that time she had her tongue darting in and out!  Silly Nora!!

Here's another picture of Hudson getting snugly with Nora again!  She said, "I knew that was you back there!!"  It was kind of a crazy and busy morning for about an hour - here are the stinky details.  All 4 of my "diaper" kids were basically poopy at the same time!!  Hudson was leaving a "trail" of evidence behind so it wasn't hard to determine who was going to get cleaned first!!  Yup, that's occasionally what life is like at Little Treasures!!  He got a nice warm soapy bath in the utility sink!

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...
