Nora - 11/15/2017

Nora ate bites of whole wheat toast and lots of grapes for breakfast.  For lunch she ate bites of pork roast, whole grain tortilla, vegetables (carrots, potatoes, sweet potatoes), and ate two servings of fruit salad.  It was a little chaotic during breakfast time; especially for Nora.  We had a situation with the sump pump in the basement yesterday and the plumber was scheduled to be here at 8:00 this morning.  Well of course he showed up about 45 minutes late - about the same time as Hudson, Avi, and Nora.  Thank goodness it was a quick fix (like I thought it might be) and he was done by 9:20 while we were still eating breakfast.  So what was the problem you ask!?  Well Nora saw his face! Yikes!  Poor Nora was screaming because I was not in the lunch room and she couldn't see me.  Baby Linnea had fallen asleep in the Baby chair and I was putting her sleeper on her so she could go to bed and she was crying.  Poor Linnea.  "Sorry," I said to the plumber,  "It's not usually like this!  (Pause) Sometimes it's worse!"  (Humor!)  I'm sure he'll never try to get his child into Little Treasures!  Ha!

Last night I found this "score card" in the lunch room where Kenzie and Riley were doing some art after snack yesterday.  I have no idea what it was - Kenzie is always creating a game of some sort - but if "low score" wins then Nora, Avi, and Gary rocked this game.  Knowing how Kenzie thinks I'm sure that is NOT the case.  :)  I thought this was really cute.

Hey!  It's a Big Day today!!  Nora put her own socks on the changing table!  (We celebrate ALL milestones at Little Treasures!)

Nora was so happy to see Baby Linnea this morning and it was so sweet.  She got to see her just before breakfast and then wanted to see her as soon as she was done eating.  Sorry, but she's sleeping again.  So I asked if they all wanted to see Linnea on the monitor!!  "YEAH!!"  Here's a picture of that occasion!  :)  Not really what they had in mind, but it's the best we could do at the moment!  So the last picture shows the baby hanging out with her new friends!  Nora was playing with the baby's feet and grinning all over.  She is going to do just awesome with the baby.  While I was feeding Linnea on the couch, two times Nora crawled up there and laid her head on my lap.  (And she wasn't fussing.)  It was just so sweet.  She simply wanted to be close and get a little attention too.

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...
