Nora - 06/14/2021

Nora ate bites of bran cereal and bites of raisins for breakfast. For lunch she ate bites of chicken with avocado on top, ate toasted whole wheat sandwich thins, and ate mandarin oranges.  

You won't see any pictures of Svea, Atley, or Avi with Nora in today's Blog. Svea and Avi also had swimming lessons so they didn't arrive until almost 11:00. Atley is gone all week on a river float trip in Oregon. I've prepared the kids several times that Atley would be gone. This morning Nora asked, "Atley gone today?" (That was after listening to me tell Emily where Atley was at.) Correct; she is not coming today. Nora said, "So she is not coming today?" Yes, that is correct. :)

I took this first picture of Nora sitting and looking like a cutie. She said, "Gary, I do not like pictures." Yes, I know that. And that's why I usually try to be very discreet, but this was too cute to pass up. And it became even more cute when you covered up!! Haha. 

So you'll notice in the next two pictures that Nora is not looking at the camera. She basically just tolerates me hanging around. Haha. First picture; she said, "Hey Gary! I'm skiing."Cal and Miles were watching her and you'll see in Miles' Blog that Miles gives skiing a shot too. Except the picture will show his attempt to be a bit more precarious!! :) Last picture: I poked around the corner and Cal was reading to Nora very cutely. Notice how Nora is all cozy - in the "cozy corner." When Callahan noticed I was there he said, "I'm reading to Nora." So cute.

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...
