Nora - 7/3/2019

Nora had a bite of whole wheat English muffin and ate oranges for breakfast.  For lunch she ate ground beef, a large serving of whole wheat elbow noodles, two servings of peas, and two servings of applesauce.  During one of the meals today Avilene asked, "Gary, why does Svea always bug Nora?!?"  :)  That's a great question Avi.  I do know that Svea is greatly amused (and sometimes bewildered) by Nora's intense and immediate reactions!!

Just in case there are some people reading the blogs that might not be aware of Little Treasures vacation days!  This will be the last blog until July 15th.  Thank you to everyone for making it possible for me to renew my energy and spirit with a few days off.  I have the best families at Little Treasures and I'm thankful for all of you.  Looking forward to hiking, reading, and relaxing for a few days!!  I love taking care of your children and enjoy it so much!!  (Oh yes, Lauralea informed me there will be cards and board games.  Haha!  I enjoy them too.)

This first picture is left over from yesterday afternoon.  This was after nap time and Nora was the only one awake.  She had the blankets arranged so nicely for her and her baby.  See, she even needs personal space from her dolls too!!  Haha!!  "Don't get too close!!"  And of course the moment she noticed me taking a picture she covers her face with her hands; but still has a big grin!!

A couple pictures from this morning!  Nora, Avi, and Atley were doing some gluing when I took this first picture.  They also did some other art work as well as some more activities.  Last picture: Avi flying off the blue balance beam, Atley jumping, and Nora trying to steer clear of everyone!!  She does her fair share of jumping too and she's a great jumper.  Especially if Lauralea is watching and that gives her extra motivation and adrenaline!!  :)

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...
