Miles - 10/01/2021

Miles ate brown rice and raisins for breakfast. For lunch he ate bites of salmon, bites of whole wheat dinner roll, ate cauliflower, and mangoes. 

It was fairly quiet around here this morning as Cal is out with diarrhea - Hudson had it last weekend so I hope these kids don't get it. Svea and Miles played together most of the morning and they actually had a lot of fun! In the first picture Miles is watching Svea lay out pillows, blankets, and other accessories. Svea said, "Our fort is almost ready Miles." Second picture: They both had fun doing some dot painting except Svea was a little dismayed by Miles' choice of colors for his sunshine and clouds. Haha. Third picture - back out to one of their "forts and caves." I love Svea's expression in this picture!!

The next two pictures go together. Svea decided to move this fort over in front of the couch. She was trotting back and forth with blocks and Miles would occasionally hand her a block. I watched for a long time as she carried one block at a time. :) About half way through the project Svea said, "It would take forever to build this." Ha. (Love the wording.) I said, "Well I have an idea how it might go faster. Do you want me to tell you?" Svea said, "Yes." "You could carry more than one block at a time." She did that 2 or 3 times, but soon resorted back to the single block trips. There are around 75 blocks!! Hey, I had LOTS of time to sit and count them!! Haha. Look at Miles' hands in second picture; Svea said, "There are not any more blocks!!"

Last picture: I was snuggling with Miles and Svea brought her blanket over and said, "Hey Gary, the Princess wants to snuggle too!" LOL!! She cracks me up. Svea is actually singing along with Alexa playing the sound track from "Sleeping Beauty." Also, notice how well I blocked my face from the picture. Pretty proud of that!! Haha. Those mirrors are handy that way!!

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...
