Nora - 2/26/2018

Nora ate kix cereal and two servings of mixed fruit for breakfast.  For lunch she ate bite of turkey burger, bite of whole wheat hamburger bun, ate salad with lettuce, tomato, and ranch dressing; she also ate avocado, and cherries.

We did a toy, book, and puzzle exchange and the kids were very busy all morning.  I took this first picture shortly after Nora arrived.  Being surrounded by new toys can be somewhat overwhelming! She had toys in each hand, but she was still yelling because she was sure Atley was playing with one that she needed!  Or maybe she was mad because she only has 2 hands!?  :)  She did better as the morning progressed.

I love how comfortable Nora is getting on the balance beam; yes, she's still very careful, but she's stepping and jumping off onto the mattress with lots more confidence!  Nice job Nora.  It's fun to watch you develop those large motor skills!  I just added this next picture after she was playing on the end of the slide.  This green piece flips over and there are steps on the other side, but she was making it very plain she wanted to play with the slide.

We were getting ready for Story Time and Hudson spotted our neighbor shoveling snow off his sidewalk; "There's big Willy!"  (You can see him across the street at the top of the picture.)  Nora, Atley, and Avi (left to right) ran to the window to wave at him.  Like I've mentioned several times He loves it when the kids wave at him!  :)  As long as they keep banging on the window he'll stand there and wave.  Ha!

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...
