Nora - 7/31/2018

Nora ate bites of toasted whole wheat english muffin and bites of dried plums for breakfast.  For lunch she ate nibbles of chicken, half of brown rice, nibbles of stir fry vegetables, and a large serving of oranges.  Nora was watching me clean up after lunch.  I lifted the table to clean under it and she spotted stuff on the floor and stood there saying, "Yuk, yuk, yuk, yuk..." while I cleaned it!  haha!

It's so precious how the babies can calm Nora right down if she's anxious and concerned about something.  It totally helps her redirect her focus on something else!!  She sure loves the babies.  In the 2nd picture Nora was laying out a doll blanket for one of the dolls and I'll bet she whipped that blanket on the floor 8 times before she got it to lay just the way she wanted it too!  The doll patiently waits on the right side of the picture!  :)

The kids frequently play in the little house on the patio and they are always selling something: usually food like hamburgers, ice cream, fries, whatever.  Today Avi was the shop keeper and she was apparently in need of "restocking" her supply.  :)  Nora made an order.  Avi said, "I don't have any blueberry Nora!" (Repeat 3 or 4 times.)  Atley was next; "Doughnuts."  Avi replied; "I don't have any!" So Atley said, "Ice Cream."  Avi said, "I don't have any."  Haha!  But at least she was polite about the lack of anything they wanted.  Avi kept saying, "Have a nice day."  LOL!

Nora and Avi were getting bikes to ride as soon as we got outside.  Avi got on a bike and said, "Nor Nor, you're too big for this one!!"  LOL!  Obviously she meant just the opposite, but it hit my funny bone. Anyhow, Nora was after one of the "big" bikes (there are 2 different sizes) and Avi was very concerned; "Gary! That one is too big for her!! That one is too big!!"  Avi repeated it at least 3 times as Nora headed down the sidewalk on it.

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...
