Nora - 11/10/2017

Nora ate several bites of breakfast: brown rice and raisins.  For lunch she ate half of her salmon, couple bites of whole wheat dinner roll, ate a large serving of corn, and a large serving of mangoes.  I took this first picture after I'd washed her hands when she'd finished breakfast.  We (Nora and I) kind of staged this picture (thank you for cooperating Nora) and I'm sure you've seen her do this at home. But this is how I know when she's done with her meal.  Whenever she starts holding her cup in this fashion, with her teeth and no hands, I know she's done eating and she's messing around!  :)  She's been doing this for a few weeks now.  Silly Nora!!

I love how Nora is growing so confident with walking and experimenting with lots of different aspects of movement.  This first picture shows how she's practicing going off the step like a pro.  Like I've mentioned before she's walked backwards, climbing up the steps to the balance beam, standing on the beam, spinning on the floor, throwing herself across the mattress, standing on the mattress and trying to bounce, and many more.  Nice work Nora!  And some of it is very hard work!  It's easy to say that all kids do is "just" play, but they are learning and developing in the daily routine of play!

First picture: It was busy around the igloo so Nora found a new private spot to take care of her business.  :)  The last picture; Cooper is here with us today and Hudson couldn't not have been more excited.  He and Cooper stayed busy playing on the mattress and being a little rowdy.  You can see Nora in the picture hanging out to the side of the boys and their activity and that's as close as she wanted to be!  Here's a left over note from earlier in the week:  Kenzie and I think it's so funny how Nora will answer "yeah" to every question.  Lauralea said that yesterday Kenzie was asking Nora all kinds of random questions and laughing when Nora would answer "yeah" to every one of the them!

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...
