Nora - 10/30/2018

Nora ate bites of toasted whole wheat english muffin and two servings of grapes for breakfast.  For lunch she ate a large serving of pork chop, ate whole wheat toast, bite of sweet potatoes, bite of beets, and ate applesauce.  (Even if she wasn't feeling great she still had a good appetite.)

As you know Nora arrived kind of teary and out of sorts due to not feeling well; most likely the runny nose bug and whatever else associated with it that Linnea passed to everyone the week you were in Vermont.  I was hoping it would bypass Nora, but not to be!!  So the best antidote for Nora's miserable state is to surround her with infants.  :)  First picture: And look at her smile.  I think I need to use the metric system to measure her tolerance for frustration when she's not feeling well.  Actually there are smaller units such as "Angstrom."  I have no idea what I'm talking about, but look it up!  (Ha!  Just humoring myself!  Ask Lauralea; it happens all the time!!)

We did some fun things this morning and Nora actually did pretty well considering it all!  We read books, sang songs, did some sign language, and even some videos that Lauralea helped me with.  Three or four short videos of the kids singing - hopefully get those put together with other pictures for something on DVD by Christmas!  (Hopefully!)  Next picture: Nora snuggled up close to Avi to read some books on the couch.  Last picture: We also had fun with some play dough and Nora said, "I make pizza" while using the pizza cutter.  :)

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...
