Nora - 12/31/2020

Nora ate two servings of French toast and ate dried plums for breakfast.  For lunch she ate a bite of pulled pork, no whole wheat toast, ate peas, and ate strawberries/mangoes.  Lauralea was being silly at Lunch and pretending to cry; she's actually pretty good at it.  They were all laughing, Avi was laughing REALLY hard, and Svea said, "Can you cry again!?!"  :)  

Avi's Mom sent me a picture to ask Avi about a Present for Svea's Birthday.  I showed Nora the picture what Avi is getting Svea for her Birthday.  Oh man, Nora was impressed!!  Her face looked like a light bulb and her voice was literally quivering!!  "Oooohhhhh."  Haha.

As everyone knows by now, it's Thursday and that means one thing!!  "Science with Lauralea!!"  I told Svea that there is no thumb sucking at the Preschool table.  After Science time (which took a majority of the morning) the kids were in the Daycare Room and Nora said, "NOW can I suck my thumb!?!"  Ha!

Today's theme was "Water."  And we did lots of activities and experiments with water; at least 6.  Here are some examples;  First picture is "Capillary Action" (Haha) and it's an experiment that takes time so the kids are watching the changes through the day.  Those are folded paper towels connecting the bottles together.  Second picture: "Surface Tension." The alcohol pushes the water away.  (It's rubbing alcohol in case someone thinks I'm dipping into my stash. I will not waste that on Science Experiments! Ha)  

Next two pictures:  We did lots of "Predicting" today.  The kids LOVED this activity!!  Will it SINK or will it FLOAT?  We even did a chart that you see in the following picture and kept track of their guesses. We had almost 25 items.  It was so much fun.  In the next picture the Pomegranate floated!!  Last picture;  Basically more of the same, but we were using some aluminum foil (which floated) and made a "boat."  Then we used pennies (which sank) and guessed how many pennies it would take to "Sink our boat."  How many do you think!?!  You gave up!?  Ok it was 40 Pennies.

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...
