Nora - 4/20/2020

Nora ate two servings of kix cereal and two servings of mixed fruit for breakfast.  For lunch she ate two servings of ground turkey, ate whole wheat hamburger bun, avocado, tomato, and ate cherries.

Nora was still at the window waiting to wave bye to Momma this morning and I'd pushed the "play" button on the iPod.  The music played like 2 notes and Nora said, "That's my favorite song!"  Oh really!?!  What is this song?!?"  Nora; "I don't know."  Haha.

Everyday, somedays it's several times per day, the kids ask "What are we eating!?!"  I usually tell them and then from that point on the standard answer is "food."  So here's an example of conversation at Daycare/Preschool just prior to Lunch!!  Atley; "What kind of food are we having for lunch?"  Me; "Good food." Atley'; "What kind of good food?"  Me; "Good All American Food!!"  Atley; "I live in American!" Ha!  Avi; "I don't!! I live in Montana!"  Me; "Guess what kids?!?  Montana is a State IN America!"  Nora; "My Dad has a State!"  Me - very impressed; "Oh really!?!  He's doing better than I even imagined!!  Where is his State?"  Nora; "On his computer!"  Haha.

This first picture is left over from Friday afternoon when Avi, Atley, and Nora were pounding some nails.  Hey, this is our life skills class. This wood is very soft and perfect for this activity.  Nora tried this a couple times before she went to Preschool without much success.  She did very well on Friday, pounded about 4 nails all the way in and she was proud of herself.  Good work Nora.

We did a toy, book, and puzzle exchange this weekend (Daycare and Preschool Rooms) and the kids were super busy all morning.  Nora played with dolls and in the first picture she'd been trying to squeeze one into that purse.  Next picture; A tablet in this exchange and the Preschool Kids are allowed a total of 20 minutes per day.  Then she's playing with a battery-powered car that works so much better on the hardwood floor.  Miles in his fedora all dress-up for a night in!!  Ha!  :)

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...
