Nora - 8/28/2018
Nora ate several bites of toasted whole wheat english muffin and several bites of dried plums for breakfast. For lunch she ate half of pork chop meat, bite of whole wheat tortillas, bites of vegetables (carrots, potatoes, sweet potatoes), and ate a large serving of fruit salad.
This first note is just an update on something we've been working on for 2 -3 months. State Licensing is requiring all Programs regardless of size - Family (Little Treasures fits into that category), Group, Center - everyone has to develop an Emergency Disaster Plan. No detail needed here, but it involves on-site evacuation, neighborhood evacuation, out of neighborhood evacuation, and a safe on-site shelter to hide from intruders or disaster. We have the perfect room for this downstairs because it has no window. This has taken a lot of work, but we're basically done and today we did a "Lock-Down Drill!" Of course the kids had no clue, but they kind of liked the adventure of going to the basement "safe room." We have a huge duffel bag in there with all the required supplies and also some toys for the kids to stay busy. Nora was a bit apprehensive about the basement trip, but settled right in when she saw things to play with. Baby Svea had a bottle downstairs while the others played. :) Have you noticed I keep saying "we" are doing all of this. What the heck would I do without Lauralea!?! She is here today and it was a perfect time to do the drill. Thank you SO much for all your help Lauralea!!
We are also getting the Preschool up and going! That involves changing the dining area into Preschool area and moving this table there. As you can see in the picture Nora is transitioning to eating at a table and she is doing awesome! She's listening to my directions and she's done great today! In the 2nd picture Lauralea has set out some trays and is laying some ground rules for the Preschool area and activities.
Nora is still quite young for most of the activities, but there are a few she can do already. The next picture is an example of one she was nailing. We glued the various colors of paper on the plate. Then she was taking little cloth ball and matching the colors of the balls in the right tray. And she was nailing this. She is a fairly detailed person and also quite persistent. Nice work Nora! We are super proud of you!
After lunch I was feeding Svea and the kids were getting ready for naps. Nora just wanted some alone space and time. :) These pillows were in the igloo so she just stuck her head under a pillow. I think she said something like this: "I've had as much fun as I can stand for one morning. Bring on some nap time!!" :)
