Nora - 10/31/2018

Nora declined breakfast.  By 10:00 I think she was kind of regretting the "no food" decision at breakfast.  Several times she asked if we were gonna have snack.  :)  If they choose to not eat I don't worry too much because we're gonna eat in 2 - 3 hours again anyhow so it's not like they're gonna starve.  And I basically believe in "natural consequences" anyhow.  ("That was your choice.")  For lunch she ate "whole 30 chili" with meat, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, and peppers and lots of spices.  She also ate tropical fruit and half of whole wheat dinner roll.

It took Nora a little longer than usual this morning to settle into Daycare Life!  :)  She was a bit "out of sorts" and yelled when anyone got within a few feet of her.  In the first picture she'd found a quiet spot to lay, but Atley and Linnea had other plans.  Linnea had given her a stuffed animal, but Nora didn't want it.  By the 2nd picture she was playing beside Linnea with the legos.

Here are a couple pictures of the kids doing some activities; first reading and then in the 2nd picture she is matching colors.  During Story Time I asked if she remembered what the fox was doing in a book I was about to start reading to them.  She said, "cooking dinner."  That's right.  He's wanting to roast the piglet.  She remembered the book real well.

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...
