Miles - 09/21/2021

Miles ate blueberry bagel and three servings of grapes for breakfast. For lunch he ate shrimp, brown rice smothered in blackberry juice, ate most of broccoli, and ate blackberries. The big girls may be gone, but the tradition continues; smother the rice with berry juice. :) First picture taken at Breakfast: Miles wanted more grapes and has jammed his mouth full with bagel AND he's trying to ask for more grapes. Dang!! Miles; I've only had to perform the Heimlich on one child in 25 years and I'd like to keep it that way!! 

Here's the story behind the first picture. And it's what they've been doing every day for over a week. Cal said, "How bout we build a cave!?!" Which means; we the boys lay here and you Svea build it!! Haha. And that's the way she wants it!! If they try to help she instructs them to "get back in the cave!" Haha. Second picture is more of the same with a bit of a twist. She is now going to build "Grandma's House" and that is always by the block cabinet. (The "cave" is always in the cozy corner.) However, before she can build Grandma's House they have to destroy the cave and the Boys are all over that. Apparently she knows they're good at that!! Haha. I like the picture - the boys know their work is done and they're now sitting again watching the Queen at work! Haha.

Next picture: I asked the kids if they'd like to do some dot painting and they were all over that. I did not do too many "teacher led" activities the first few days after the big girls went to Kindergarten. I was basically doing lots of observation and getting a feel for how these three would do together. I've been somewhat surprised that these three will go on and on and on without needing much intervention from me. Lots of that is attributable to how much Svea likes to lead their adventures. And her imagination is pretty much endless. Quite impressive actually. So I try to wait for a lull in the action to offer another activity. :) Last picture: Miles and I doing some selfies. He come for more snuggles than the other kids so I have more selfies of him!!

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...
