Nora - 2/11/2019

Nora ate half of kix cereal and half of mixed fruit for breakfast.  For lunch she ate ground turkey, bites of whole wheat hamburger bun, ate avocado, most of tomatoes, and ate her cherries.

This first picture is left over from Friday afternoon, but it was so cute when Nora was "teaching" Svea some colors.  :)  Nora was saying, "This is blue Svea, this is blue."  And doing each color.  She's getting some good practice for being a big sister this year!!  And the second picture is another great example of Atley and Nora's relationship.  I can't remember what Nora was mad about (something I told her she couldn't do), but she did her "slump to the floor" maneuver.  And a little pouting - which gets her nowhere here!  But she hasn't come up with an alternative plan yet.  :)   So moments later Atley mimicked her!  Not too close - see picture - but within moments Nora was laughing!  Atley will try and if it doesn't work she'll try again later.  She's a very good friend to Nora.  "Hey Nora! You wanna be silly?!"  I've seen Nora "ask" the same thing, but with a different approach!  Last week Nora went up to Atley and started doing "fake laughs" in Atley's face.  That was Atley's clue to switch into "make Nora laugh" mode!  And it worked!

Here are a couple more pictures of this silly duo!  We did a toy, book, and puzzle exchange this weekend and everyone stayed busy all morning.  Atley and Nora were looking at preschool books and activities.  Nora was saying (again!) "I can't hear!  I can't hear!"  Notice Atley's body language in the picture; she's leaning in towards Nora!  And as many already know, this girl can bring the volume!  Hmmmm....   Last picture: They were wearing the dress-up jackets and said they were being "bugs."  Nora a bumblebee and Atley a ladybug.  Except Atley has pretty much out-grown this dress-up selection!!  :)

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...
