Nora - 12/26/2018

Nora arrived a little after 10:00 so at lunch she ate pork roast, whole wheat tortilla, no sweet potatoes, three servings of fruit salad.

This morning Avi said, "Hey Gary!  I'm gonna ski and you're gonna watch me!!"  Haha!  (Ok, let me know when this is happening!)  Nora said, "I'm gonna ski."  Avi said, "I'm gonna ski fast."  Nora said, "I'm gonna ski fast."  Avi said, "Ok, you can ski right beside me."  :)

Nora was a bit reserved when she came in and went to the couch to lay and suck her thumb.  But all she needed was for Svea to visit her for a few moments and she forgot all about any negative thoughts!!  I took the first picture in the middle of this.  She was starting to smile at Svea.  No one here can help but smile at Svea.  :)

I told Nora, "Boy your Dad did a great job on your ponytails."  Ha!  I wonder how many times I've said that to little girls in the last 20 + years!!  Never gets old!  At least not for me!!  :)  She said, "My Grandma did it!"  :)  Sweet!  Nice work Grandma!!

Nora said, "Gary, can we........?"  What?!?  "Gary, can we......?"  Repeat 3 or 4 times!  Avi!  What is she saying?  Avilene said, "Gary, can we do sign language?"  Ha!  Thank you Avi.  So Nora said it again!  "Gary, can we.......?"  Avi said, "I already telled him!!"  Haha!!  So we did some sign language and Nora was nailing almost all of them.  In the last picture Avi was trying to help Nora do the sign for "yellow."  Avi was saying, "put these down, put these down."  Thanks for helping Nora get those fingers to cooperate Avi!!

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...
