Nora - 02/08/2021

Nora ate kix cereal and fruit cocktail for breakfast.  For lunch she ate ground turkey, two servings of toasted whole wheat sandwich thins, ate tomato, avocado, and banana. 

First picture: It was Toy Exchange Monday and the Preschool Art Supplies were replenished along with some new ones! New markers - some that are for stamping instead of just drawing - fancy scissors that make interesting cuts, different tape for Valentine's Day, and some paints. I just did an online class this weekend about all the benefits of "child led art" for this age group. Super interesting class. 

Next picture: Three girls in the picture "napping." You can see Svea's striped shirt, Atley's hair, and Nora's hair on the couch. I had to be quick with the camera because Atley wasn't in that position for very long!! Then Nora started rubbing her head back and forth again to work up a static electricity storm. Ha. Third picture: Atley is serving "tea" and breakfast to Svea and Nora. (Svea is at the other end of the couch.) Nora's expression in this picture makes me laugh. Looks like she's having a "happy dream."

Last picture: Back at the Art table and this time they were doing some water painting. Even though at this age it's all about the process, Nora's end product here was VERY interesting. I try to be careful about what I say and not focus on the end product too much. Then everyone is like; "Do you like mine?! Do you like mine!? Do you like mine!?"  (Yes, no, yes. Haha - that's a joke.)

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 oatmeal and apple bites for breakfast.  For lunch she ate a large serving of hamburger stew with carrots, potatoes, and green beans.  She ate a bite or two of dinner roll and ate apricots. These first two pictures are from yesterday afternoon and the first picture has Riley feeding Nora cottage cheese for snack.  For the 2nd picture Kenzie and Riley wanted to take pictures of me reading to the kids.  (Hudson had left by this time.)  They took several pictures with my phone and I thought they did a good job.  :) All the kids know I use two pillows when I sit on the couch!  This morning I said, "Ok everyone, it's Story Time."  Nora picks up both pillows off the floor and takes them to the couch.  All the kids do that; whoever finds them, but this is the first time I've seen Nora do it!  :)  Shortly before that Hudson had apparently taken something and Nora was yelling at him.  Hudson said, "Hmmm... Nora didn't li...
