Nora - 2/28/2018
Nora ate french toast and two servings of strawberries for breakfast. For lunch she carefully picked out and ate all the vegetables (cauliflower, broccoli, green beans, carrots) from the paleo stew. She carefully avoided the ground beef! She also ate saltines and tropical fruit.
In this first picture Nora is enjoying the "sidewalk" they (primarily Avi and Atley) were building. She walked across this many time and carefully up the steps and slowly across the balance beam. I know I've been mentioning this every day for several days now, but hey, this is what she's been enjoying!! It's fun to watch and think about how far she has come with her large motor skills. Not that long ago she wasn't interested in walking! She will also jump in the midst of the other kids jumping and again that is huge progress for her. Not that long ago she freaked out when someone touched her on the balance beam or mattress.
Nora was playing with one of the cups and with a couple of the "shaker eggs" (I don't know what they're actually called - they make noise when you shake them.) when I took this next picture. She was vigorously shaking the cup and watching for the eggs to fly out. Nora had a pretty good morning and only a couple of "meltdowns" yelling/screaming at the other kids. She even self-regulated two times - getting a doll blanket and going to a non-busy spot on the floor, laying down, and covering up her head.
This picture kind of goes with the first picture; except it was taken about an hour later. She had put on some dress-up shoes and was again walking back-n-forth across the "sidewalk" and then across the balance beam. Then she even started jumping off with the shoes still on. :) I like the hair going every-which-way! :)
