Nora - 11/2/2017

Nora ate two servings of french toast and most of dried plums for breakfast.  For lunch she ate bites of pulled pork sandwich, ate peas, and cantaloupe.

Every day Hudson and Avi ask; "Riley and Kenzie coming today?"  Yes, as soon as they get out of school.  Yesterday, same thing, and then Hudson added; "Riley is coming to see Nor Nor."  :)  And that is basically the truth!  It's just cute that he's that observant - both with eyes and ears.  Nora yells and Riley responds.  Like I told Momma Emily, Nora thinks Riley is her personal attendant!  She has Riley's thumb in this first picture.  Come on Riley!!  Riley totally adores Nora and the feeling is mutual!!  :)

This picture is also from yesterday afternoon.  Kenzie had put everyone's name on a piece of paper and then she had Riley draw the lucky winner from the bowl!  I like how Riley is intentionally looking elsewhere!  No cheating here!!  Each child was awarded a medal on the basis of this drawing!  Ha!  She wrote on their paper/medal whether they got 1st, 2nd, 3rd...  (Kenzie just recently won a medal as her soccer team won a tournament!  So she's really into the medal thing right now!)

I took this next picture when Hudson was patting Nora on the head and saying/asking, "Is it pretty, is it pretty, is it pretty!?!"  Ha!  Then he expounded a bit and started saying things like, "Don't pull your pony out, don't pull your pony out."  He's probably heard me saying that!!  (For those not familiar with Hudson, he never says something just once!!  Haha!)

Not too much to say about this last picture except; "LOOK Everyone!!  I'm getting more brave!!"  Love it!  (By the way, she looks adorable in this outfit!!)  The balance beam and the mattress helps their large muscle skills so much.  Also this morning she was really experimenting with walking backwards.  Which is another physical development - plus it's cognitive thing as well and I love how she was really concentrating as she was taking steps backwards.  Very intentional in what she was doing!  It was fun to watch and then Atley joined her and they both were practicing walking backwards.  Good job you two!!

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...
