Miles - 11/02/2021

Miles ate whole wheat English muffin and dried plums for breakfast. For lunch he ate half of his chicken, ate whole wheat elbow noodles, half of his broccoli, and ate mandarin oranges.

Svea frequently asks Alexa to play "Wrecking Ball" and as usual I'd never heard of that song or who sings it. (I did some research and now I know.) One of the lines says, "I came in like a wrecking ball" and that totally fits the standard modus operandi for kids!! On many different levels!! That song should be rewritten and become a kid's song!

This first picture is left over from yesterday afternoon and I thought it was cute when I positioned him beside Avi doing some Art work. He continued to work on his drawing even after Avi was done!! Geez he must have stay on task for 30 minutes and did both sides of his paper. Second picture: and he was right back at it again this morning!!

Next picture: Cal and Miles playing with the magnetic handles again moving the buttons around. Following picture; Svea taking off Miles' socks. But there is a story behind the picture. Svea had provided water for the boys (see last picture) and she'd spilled a little bit. She wanted Miles to experience the feeling of bare feet on the water. She said, "Now put your foot here Miles." He wasn't very interested in doing that! Ha.

Next picture; Svea was setting up food for everyone and offering them food when it was ready!! I asked, "What are you feeding them?" Svea said, "It's a nut from a pine tree." Then almost immediately she said, "No no no, it's a nut from a nut tree." :) Last picture: She loves getting their water and preparing food for everyone to eat.

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...
