Nora - 07/29/2021

Nora followed Avilene's decision "No Breakfast!" Haha. French Toast and dried Plums. For lunch she ate pulled pork, ate whole wheat toast, peas, and two servings of watermelon.  

This first picture is left over from yesterday afternoon when Atley and Nora were building a private Spa area where the little guys were not welcome. The boys didn't really know or care that they may be missing out on something significant! Ha. Second picture: I was just sitting in the swivel chair taking pictures of Nora and Miles jumping off the blue balance beam. I guess you have to go to Miles' Blog to see his. Ha.

Next two pictures: I have to tell you the story behind these two pictures. Avi is very interested in the fact that I'm color blind. For the last two weeks she's been coming to me every day with a couple of markers and asking, "Which one is the darkest or lightest?" Which is interesting to me because most people start quizzing me with identifying the actual colors. Haha. Today Nora and Atley asked me for the little pieces of paper you see in the picture in 5 different colors. Nora saw me struggling a bit with the colors and she (obviously assuming it was a lack of early learning) said, "You need to learn to say them!" LOL! Ok, I will. Atley said, "It's because you have glasses."That's it! Glasses have led to a color deficiency! So in the following picture even Svea got in on the action and brought two markers to test me. Hahaha. I love it.

Last picture: Avi and Nora are discussing the different patterns/examples to follow when creating with these little magnetic building pieces I have. They are talking about the possibility of doing them and the level of difficulty.

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...
