Nora - 9/16/2020

Nora ate French toast and three servings of strawberries for breakfast.  For lunch she ate a large serving of "Hearty Paleo Stew" with meat, cauliflower, broccoli, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, carrots, and green beans.  She had two servings of saltines and three servings of tropical fruit.  That was a lot of food!!  :)  At breakfast Atley was watching Nora chew her food and apparently Nora didn't chew to Atley's standards.  Atley said, "That is NOT healthy! You have to eat your food."  Hahaha.  (I'm assuming she meant "chew.")  Before breakfast Nora asked me take out her ponytail.  Mommy did such a nice French braid (see the first picture) that I told her I'd take it out before nap time and she was good with that.  

The big excitement for everyone today - including Grandpa Gary - Gideon and his Mommy are here.  Avi and Svea are at Seely Lake until mid-morning Friday so Atley and Nora were explaining the Daycare to Christina.  Atley said, "I am the biggest, but Avi is the oldest."  Nora said, "And I am the prettiest."  Oh man, I had to swallow hard about three times to keep from doing the biggest guffaw ever!!  Nora was so totally serious and it was SO stinking funny.  I about fell off the couch laughing.  Now that is SO Nora!  

First picture: Here is Nora meeting and greeting Gideon with my encouragement for a hug.  Adorable.  Gideon fit right in with the kids and it's nice because he and Callahan are only 2 months apart so that's awesome.  Second picture; This is such a treat for Gideon to be here where he can just enjoy everything and not have the stress of life after hurricane without electricity.  When all the kids started showing up I think he may have said something like this; "Grandpa! You have the coolest friends!!"  :)

Next picture: Nora and Atley spent a little time in the Preschool room, but not much!!!  They had someone new to get acquainted with and they were showing off running and jumping for Christina.  Last picture; Christina was showing them some videos of Gideon on her phone.

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...
