Nora - 6/12/2018
Nora ate bites of whole wheat bagel and two servings of grapes for breakfast. For lunch she ate shrimp, half of brown rice, ate a large serving of stir fry vegetables, and ate raspberries.
I'm adding this first picture so Daddy Ryan will know that Nora didn't stay "distraught" for very long! She came in howling with tears flowing and 5 minutes after Daddy left this is what it all looked like! Dang kids! :) Their cognitive abilities are far from fully developed and yet they know how to "yank our chains." (That's what Lauralea and I've always called it!) This morning Atley was doing the same thing for Momma Megan. After Momma walked out the door Atley and I were playing on the rocking chair and she was giggling and laughing. "Atley! Here comes Mom - let's wave at her!" Atley flipped a switch immediately puts on this super sad pouty face and stands looking so pitiful at the window. Ha!
We read lots of books and then built this sidewalk that you see in the next picture. Playing on something like this sidewalk with other children is one of Nora's big challenges! Meaning; it's difficult to share "space" with the other kids. "Forget about the toys, I don't even want to share space with you!!" Haha!! She was just standing in the middle of the sidewalk and screaming when someone wasn't following a rule that only she knew about. :) She and Atley were putting on some dress-up clothes when I took the picture below.
So every day Nora finds a wonderful place to soothe her soul and mind!! (See the last picture.) Laying on a baby and sucking her thumb! :) I like how Svea has her hand on Nora's arm.
