Miles - 10/06/2020

(I copied and pasted the first two paragraphs in everyone's Blog so you'll see the same thing in Nora's Blog.)  Just an FYI for everyone; I had a doctor appointment this morning and Lauralea covered for me.  So the Blogs will be much shorter and fewer pictures.  (Unless I have pictures left over from yesterday afternoon.)  I primarily went to the doctor today for a second opinion and reassurance that what I'm doing is on the right track.  And I got the reassurance I was looking for.  I do have another appointment on Thursday and Lauralea will cover for me again - thanks so much Lauralea!!  

Miles ate blueberry bagel and two servings of grapes for breakfast.  I didn't ask Lauralea to keep notes while I was gone, but she told me something cute about Lunch.  The table kids, Avilene, Atley, Nora, and Svea put their rice in the raspberry juice and everyone told me they liked the "pink rice."  Haha.  

Lauralea told me while I was gone Miles got on the top toy shelf under the changing table and then whimpered like he was "stuck."  That's a super common response and I let them struggle to figure it out rather than just immediately 'rescue' them.  Now if they are "terrified" that's totally different.  Lauralea said he was just whimpering and not really even crying and he figured it out on his own while she talked soothingly to him and encouraged him.  Good job Miles!!  And good job Lauralea in NOT immediately rescuing him.  Avi wanted to help him of course.  :)

These two pictures are left over from yesterday afternoon and the boys were on the climber together.  Cal had already went down once and was coming back for a second turn.  As you can see Miles was thinking strongly about it, but eventually pulled his leg back to wait for another day.  :)  Second picture:  Miles was tugging on the parachute and he ended up getting most of it pulled off the other kids!  :)

Miles ate waffle and three large servings of grapes - LOVE those Candy Snaps - for breakfast. For lunch he ate bite of his chicken, bites of whole wheat tortillas, bites of corn, and ate apple pieces.  Miles was pretty clingy to Daddy this morning and after Ryan left I told Miles; "Good job not crying." Miles said, "At Grandma Pam's?" Haha. Sure, at Grandma Pam's. Then he was telling me something about "puking" and I basically never figured it out except for this; "I got watermelon puke." Haha. Ok, whatever. First picture: Well did you notice Miles in this picture? Haha. He's laying on the couch, but I wanted to show you what he frequently does after arrival when he's a bit "bent out of shape." He wasn't crying or super upset, he just didn't like the transition. (He was playing with his truck and one of my tractors.) He likes to be alone and just regroup before starting his day. Side Note: This might be good info...

Miles ate whole wheat toast and three large servings of candy grapes. For lunch he ate bites of pork roast, bites of whole wheat tortillas, ate half of his carrots, and three large servings of fruit salad. Random notes:  Miles asked, "Did the thunder come to your house?" Yup. "Was it loud?" Yup. "Why?" Haha. I was snuggling Nora on the couch and Miles was listening to what I said to Nora. "Nora, You've always been my girl! You're so very sweet." Miles said, "I miss my Mom." LOL!! That hit my funny bone and I laughed so hard. Miles started laughing when he saw my reaction. So cute and sweet. I love how kids frequently arrange their words! On our way to Cold Springs Playground Nora started taking about Big Willy again as we passed his house. "I can't believe he died." Yes that was sad for me too! She said, "Did they bury him up ?" "Put him into ashes?" "Or in the sea?" So precious. Firs...

Miles ate three large servings of French toast covered with three large servings of strawberries for breakfast. For lunch he ate pork roast, saltines, half of his carrots, and ate his fruit salad. Right after breakfast Miles said, "Outside? Outside? Outside?" Cal said, "Well it's too foggy." Haha. "We'll go outside after Snack today Miles just like we did yesterday." So here is a picture from yesterday afternoon. The snow is pretty frozen underneath the new couple of inches we got. It makes for hard walking across the snow, but it was pretty entertaining to watch!! Especially when the boys also tried to push dump trucks across it as well. Miles gave up on that and just laid down on the path to the garage. :) Next picture: This picture from this morning reminds me of yesterday afternoon when the boys awoke from their naps and wanted to do some puzzles. As they were working Cal said, "Hey Gary! Miles did not yell at me when I was doing the puzzl...
