Nora - 1/22/2018

Nora ate bran cereal and raisins for breakfast.  For lunch she ate chicken, no whole wheat pita bread, ate olives, tomatoes, cucumbers, avocado, and pears.  

Nora was packing an armload of toys to the mattress and I said, "Nora, bring the food toys to this side."  (It keeps the mattress open for jumping and being rowdy.  They all follow that house rule really well, but occasionally have to be reminded of course.)  Anyhow, when I said that, she stopped, looked at me, and then closed her eyes and stood there.  Oh man, that made me laugh.  I don't know if that made me disappear or if she was no longer present!  So funny.  So I simply repeated what I'd said and she followed the rules that time.  Thank you Nora.  You cute little stinker!  

Speaking of a little stinker, I will continue with some more stinker behavior!!  Daddy got to see her grab an armload of doll blankets (like the picture below) and then yell when she perceived someone might want to play with one of them!  By the way Ryan, this is why she didn't wave at the window this morning.  She wasn't about to release anything and go up to the window!!  (Did I mention the phrase "Little Stinker!?!")

We did a toy, book, and puzzle exchange this weekend and the kids were busy all morning exploring everything.  The "new" toys keep them engaged all morning so we rarely do Art Time or sing songs on Toy Exchange Monday.  We did read a tall stack of books from this exchange.  Nora was watching Hudson and Avi wear the masks so she went and got one too.  I asked her if she wanted to wear the "older lady" mask!  (I'm was trying to be very careful how I phrase that!!)  At least she can see through one eye hole!!  In the last picture she is looking in the mirror at Hudson's mask!

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...
