Nora - 12/21/2018

Nora ate brown rice and raisins for breakfast.  For lunch she ate salmon, half of whole wheat dinner roll, a couple bites of cauliflower, and ate mangoes.  First thing - I want to wish everyone a very merry Christmas!  Little Treasures will be closed Monday and Tuesday and the Blog will resume on Wednesday the 26th.  The first thing Nora did this morning was go to the kitchen sink and wash hands for breakfast.  The kids stand on a stool while washing and can see the fence across the yard and squirrels frequently use that fence for a runway!  She spotted one this morning and I thought she was gonna fall off the stool.  :)

Nora was reading books and singing, "Frosty the Snowman" with volume and enthusiasm!!  But she wasn't doing the words correctly and Avi had to intercede!!  Nora singing, "Frosty the snowman was a nee nee nee nee nee."  Avi, speaking with animation and using her hands for extra emphasis:  "Nora, How about this!?!  Frosty the Snowman was a jolly happy soul."  LOL

Sometimes Nora does things that fascinate me!!  Here's one from this morning:  She was kind of in a mood that told the other kids to keep their distance.  Well, actually just Avilene.  Atley is gone and Nora holds the babies to a different standard.  :)  She was making a pile of pillows and blankets in the middle of the mattress.  She said (three or four times), "No thank you Avi, no thank you Avi." Huh?! Avi is on the other side of the room and obviously not an immediate threat of any kind.  (I was observing the whole time.)  Then Nora laid down in the middle of the pile.  My guess: She was looking forward anticipating Avi messing with her newly constructed pile.  :)  And practicing a good response!!  (Pretty sure that's expecting too much from a 2 year old!!)

Pictures from this morning: Nora hanging out and having fun with the babies.  Second picture: Taking dolls to Svea.  Nora said, "Here you go Svea."  Hey Nora loves dolls; why wouldn't Svea want some too!?!  :)  Last picture: Nora looking adorable after I fixed her hair.

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...
