Nora - 2/14/2018

Nora ate french toast (with syrup) and three servings of strawberries for breakfast.  For lunch she tried bites of the Whole 30 sweet potato chili (haha - actually it's awesome) with hamburger, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, peppers, sweet potatoes, and spices.  (The Whole 30 food program does not include beans.)  She also ate half of dinner roll and ate tropical fruit.

This first picture is obviously from yesterday afternoon when Nora was working-out with her personal trainer, Kenzie.  :)  Kenzie was successful teaching Hudson how to jump off the climber several months ago and now she's moved on to Nora.  (We should get a Little Treasures betting pool going when or if you think Nora will jump off here by herself!)  You can see by the 2nd picture taken this morning that Nora is getting more brave.  Now if I can get her to stop screaming when someone else approaches within 16 feet which makes her highly nervous and ripple with anxiety!!  :)

Speaking of screaming and high anxiety (how'd you like that super smooth segue?) I've found a way to help Nora calm down quite quickly!  Yesterday I posted a picture of her head covered with a doll blanket. This morning she was losing her mind and I said, "go get a doll blanket" and she immediately got one and went back to the same exact spot on the floor.  Next we'll work on breathing techniques!  :)

I was changing Atley's diaper and Nora got some big blocks to stand on so she could reach Atley to touch her and of course they found this quite humorous and started laughing.  :)  This usually proves to be too disruptive to get diapers changed, but I had to at least get a picture before it all went downhill!!  :)

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...
