Nora - 9/22/2020

Nora ate bites of raisin cinnamon English muffin and ate dried plums for breakfast.  For lunch she ate chicken stir fry, bites of brown rice, and two servings of mandarin oranges.  

This story doesn't involve either of your kids, but I thought you might like it.  Or maybe not.  Haha. Ok, I'm gonna tell a poop story.  If that grosses you out, then you better skip to the next paragraph!  I was in the kitchen at the sink and the big girls, primarily Avi and Atley, were yelling that there was "poop on the floor!!"  I went running out and sure enough Callahan had a few little piles of poop in a small area; maybe two feet in diameter.  (Avi had picked up some poop on her socks!)  Ok, this is not the first time for that and I did the smartest thing I could think of; yell for help!!  "HEY LAURALEA!!"  I'll bet she's glad she's working from home!  LOL!!  I seriously owe her a big bonus!!  Again.  I put Cal in the sink in the entry room (again) and Lauralea worked on the floor.  But here's the kicker to the story:  Right in the middle of all this Svea says, "Gary, I'm poopy."  And she was, but it was dripping down to the floor too!!  Probably six spots!!  What the Heck!!  That's a first; I've never had two kids squirting on the floor at the same time!!  Svea had her legs spread and was leaning against the end of the couch and she didn't move.  You listened so well Svea and you waited patiently for several minutes.  Good work Svea!!

Svea and Nora are under the parachute in this first picture and riding on the teeter-totter.  They had so much fun; well at least there was LOTS of giggling and laughing and it continued for 10 - 15 minutes.  In the second picture Nora was just sitting there while Atley was searching in the container.  I was curious about Nora's role in this activity.  :)  Atley finally found one she was searching for and handed it to Nora and Nora put it in the correct section.  

Next picture; Avi and Nora with the "Frontier Logs" set.  As you can see there are a lot of pieces to choose from.  Preschool Rule: You have to pick up everything before you can move on to another activity.  Last picture:  Here is Miles and Cal disrupting Svea and Nora's cave.  The girls are in the cave and they yell every time someone tugs on the entrance blanket.  Their yelling didn't faze the boys one bit; or maybe it gave them incentive to pull harder.

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...
