Nora - 06/29/2021

Nora had no waffle and ate grapes for breakfast. For lunch she ate chicken, whole wheat tortillas, ate corn, and three servings of baked cinnamon apples.  

These first two pictures are from yesterday afternoon and I loved the amount of supplies and hard work the girls were putting into their work. Good job everyone. In the second picture Nora was showing me her finished product and I can't really remember what she was telling me (maybe a "pumpkin"), but she'd finished both sides of her paper and the other side was a "haunted house" she said. As you can tell she put lots of hard work and effort into this piece. :)

Next picture: This was pretty cute and sweet; Atley told Nora she could have this baby and take it home. Atley said, "I gave Nora this doll because I don't like dolls anymore." (She really never did like them here.) Nora was thrilled. Atley likes "stuffed animals" and makes a point that they are not the same. :)

Next two pictures: Avi and Nora were playing a couple of my newer games. The first one is a matching game that's pretty simple, but has several different cards of objects so they don't get bored quickly with the same card. In the second picture they are playing a "Connect Four" game. If you look closely you can see Avi is holding the Connect Four board and she's slowly moving it to her left trying hard to manipulate the spot where Nora is trying to insert her color. Tricky little Turkey. So I informed her that probably wasn't allowed in the rules. Haha. Creative; yes. Legal and Fair: no. 

 Last picture: They wanted to do the "painting with water" activity again this morning. So it became a "clean the toys" activity too. Child labor laws?!? :) You kids are doing great; now work harder!! Haha.

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...
