Nora Hansen's Journal

Nora ate whole wheat toast and three servings of mangoes for breakfast.  For lunch she ate ground beef with pasta sauce, whole wheat spaghetti noodles, no riced cauliflower, and a large serving of fruit salad. Hey Ryan!  Atley came in the Daycare this morning talking about "Ryan crash!"  What the heck is she talking about!?!  So Megan went to her car and got her phone so I could see the now infamous crash!  That's pretty impressive!  WOW!  Well, apparently Atley found it extremely hilarious because she watched it like maybe a hundred times last night according to her Mommy and was laughing every time!!  :) Here are some pictures from the morning activities in the preschool area.  Nora and Atley were reading books and Avi was working on a puzzle from one of the activity trays.  Second picture they were doing some stickers and they also worked with some play dough. Last picture: These two characters being silly and laughing non-s...

Nora ate half of whole wheat bagel serving (toasted and buttered) and ate grapes for breakfast.  For lunch she ate shrimp, bites of brown rice, ate stir fry vegetables, and raspberries. Linnea is almost always the first one here so it was a treat that Nora arrived a few minutes after opening!  Linnea was excited that someone besides Gary was here when she arrived!!  Both girls were running, squealing, laughing, and giggling from one side of the room to the other side!!  It was adorable.  First picture: They were in the box together,  peeking out and I managed to get a picture before they vanished and moved on to something else!! Nora had something she was working on (legos) and wanted Atley to recognize the splendor of it all!  "Look at what I made Atley."  Atley replied; "I'm gonna finish my project (also with the legos) then I'll look at it!"  Wow!  That was a great sentence Atley! So when Atley arrived she too was SO happy t...

Nora ate cream of wheat cereal and half of dried plums for breakfast.  For lunch she ate half of baked beef kabobs with meat, pineapple, zucchini, and peppers.  She ate half of brown rice and ate pineapple on the side. First picture: This is from yesterday afternoon when Hudson, Baby Callahan, and Momma Maddy came to visit.  Lots of fun to see them all.  Just a head's up for everyone - Callahan will be starting at Little Treasures on April 1st!  Cheers!  Hmm...that date sounds familiar Nora!  :)  See you at the BIG Party Nora!! Next picture:  I moved the big box out of the play room just for something different this morning.  Before I moved it all the way out I set it on it's side and in a different location and it becomes a totally different toy and something NEW!!  They were all squealing and acting like they'd not seen it before!  "We're SO happy!!  Thank you Gary!!"  :) Last two pictures: Atley and Nora ...

Nora ate waffle and fruit salad for breakfast.  For lunch she ate bites of Shepard's Pie with meat, carrots, potatoes, and green beans.  She ate half of whole wheat tortillas, and she ate her cherries. First picture:  Linnea was having fun running and working hard to keep up with Atley and Nora.  They were racing from the big window to the gate and back again; over and over.  I took this picture when they slowed down long enough to play with the school buses.  Notice that 2 of the 3 (Nora and Atley) are busy on their phones.  Yup, that looks about right!  :)  Second picture: Same book as yesterday, but different song!  "This old man he played six....nick nack paddywhack give the dog a bone...."  Nice job remembering all of that Nora. This next note is a little crude, so brace yourself!  (Hey, I'm just the reporter so don't blame me!!  Ha!)  Atley noticed me changing Nora's diaper and of course she had to make ...

Nora ate French toast and three servings of strawberries for breakfast.  For lunch she ate a large serving of "whole 30" chili with meat, sweet potatoes, peppers, tomatoes, and tomato sauce.  She ate most of whole wheat dinner roll, and ate tropical fruit.  At breakfast Nora asked for more strawberries and I was feeding Svea at the time.  I said, "Ok, but you'll have to wait a couple of minutes before I can cut up more strawberries."  Avi added; "So you don't choke!!"  She LOVES making additions and corrections to my statements!!   :)  I'm making that judgment by how often it happens! First picture from yesterday afternoon: Nora was giving Svea SO many loves yesterday afternoon; to the point that Svea was getting tired of it!  "Enough Already!!"  You can probably guess what happened when Nora put her head in Svea's lap!  Yup, Nora yelled; "Hey! Don't pull my hair!!"  I said, "Well hey, that's what babies...

Nora ate most of whole wheat English muffin and two servings of grapes for breakfast.  For lunch she ate pork chop meat, ate whole wheat toast, bite of beets, no sweet potatoes, and ate applesauce. I just thought this first picture was cute because these two were sitting side-by-side with the same toys, doing the same thing, and each had a stuffed animal too.  (I guess I can call Elmo an animal! Ha!)  Speaking of these two they were sitting about this close together and reading/singing really loud like they always do!  Nora yells; "I can't hear! I can't hear!"  Atley stops singing; Nora starts singing!  Atley starts singing.  Nora yells; "I can't hear!  I can't hear!"  Repeat and repeat!  :) Next picture: Avi, Nora, and Atley were all in the preschool room doing activities.  Earlier, Nora was reading a "Care Bear" book.  And Avi scooted up beside her and started looking at it too.  Things kind of started to go south ...

Nora ate bites of Chex cereal and two servings of peaches for breakfast.  For lunch she ate two servings of ground beef, ate whole wheat hamburger bun, ate tomatoes, ate avocado, and three servings of oranges. I changed Nora's poop this morning and it was pretty large!  I said, "That's a huge poopy for such a little kid!"  She said, "Thanks Gary!"  You're welcome Nora!  :)  Well, I'll continue with this toilet theme!!  We've been doing group sessions in the bathroom;  it always seems to help the next ones see the potty routine!  Avi is the "veteran" of the group, Atley is the "rookie," and I'll call Nora the potential "prospect."  :) We did a toy, book, and puzzle exchange this weekend so everything is new once again!!  First picture: Atley and Nora were looking at books and singing.  All Christmas songs!  For example; In picture Atley has a "Care Bears" book and she's singing, "The twelve ...
