Miles - 10/12/2021

Miles ate whole wheat English muffin and three servings of grapes for breakfast. For lunch he ate bites of chicken, ate whole wheat toast, broccoli, and pineapple. So at breakfast Cal said, "Hey Gary, I can sing in Spanish!" And so he did; "Hola amigo; Como estas?" I'm fine my friend Cal and how are you? :) Yesterday Svea was saying Spanish words - primarily numbers - and I love that they have older siblings to learn from. And kids pick up language so fast!! Very cool! So Miles will probably be saying Spanish words soon too!! :)

Miles headed to the window as soon as Momma Emily shut the door this morning. He stood at the window for a few seconds then shrugged his shoulders and said, "No Mom" and strolled away. Ha. Silly boy. Then when Momma drove up to wave bye Miles was so busy telling Cal; "My Mom, my Mom, my Mom" that he didn't really have time to wave. Haha.

I will label the first 4 pictures: "Typical Toddler/Early-Preschool Behavior." I expect this behavior and then teach other ways of dealing with each other. Learning good social skills never ends, right!?! So Cal is holding his tractor high and wide so Miles doesn't steal it!! Ha! (I have 4 identical ones!!) What happens next that the picture doesn't show?!? Cal was setting down the yellow car, and Miles grabbed it, while holding and protecting another car in his left hand. 

Next picture: Cal was hitting Svea so I had him go sit on the couch for a couple of minutes. What do the other two kids do!?! Go to the couch and join him!! Dang kids! Then for good measure, Miles starts pushing on Cal with his feet. Dang kids. Hahaha. But they like being in close proximity to each other! And we try to celebrate the times they play with very minimal conflict!! See the next two pictures!! In the third picture Svea is leading them in cheers. Primarily; "Go Broncos."

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...
