Nora - 4/10/2018

Nora ate toasted whole wheat english muffin and three servings of grapes for breakfast.  For lunch she ate pork chops, whole wheat toast, no roasted vegetables (potatoes, carrots, mushrooms, sweet potatoes), and ate a large serving of applesauce.  (I'm posting the following in everyone's journal.) Hudson was eating fine, but chattering non-stop through breakfast!  (Which he'd already been doing - jabbering from arrival to breakfast!)  If volume is any indication (which it is) then Hudson was happy to be back and everyone else was happy as well.  Atley is the queen of volume and even she had her ears plugged at breakfast.  WOW!  Haha!  I never cease to be amazed how ONE child can make the energy level and volume increase exponentially at an amazing rate!!  But that's what happens.  Welcome back Bubba!  :)  Everyone was excited and talking and yelling at the same time!  That's not too unusual, but Hudson expects me to hear and give feedback on everything he says!  hahaha!!

One of the highlights for all the kids every morning - besides Art, Story Time, puzzles, sign language, singing, jumping, or whatever - is everyone running down the hall to greet Baby Linnea after her nap.  They all go ahead of me and pound on her door loudly while laughing and squealing until I get there!  It's so cute and Linnea always has a huge grin when we enter!!

Nora didn't want Daddy to take her socks off this morning - that's a ritual that happens later in the morning at some random time.  Here's how it happened this morning:  There were socks already laying on the changing table.  I didn't see who put them there, but I had a good idea and I asked, "Are these yours Avi?"  ("yes")  The moment I asked that question Nora (without even looking up) dropped to the floor and started pulling on her socks!  Haha!  Cracks me up!

Here are some pictures from this morning:  1. Nora has a couple of masks and was putting her feet through the elastic when Linnea lunged to grab one.  (If you look closely you can see elastic from a mask around Nora's waist!)  I took the picture after Nora had yanked them to safety!  Ha!  2. Wearing some dress-up shoes.  They don't really look as large in the picture, but they remind me of Mickey Mouse shoes.  3. In the last picture Nora is putting the doll blanket over Linnea over and over.

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...
