Miles - 04/13/2022

Miles ate two large servings of French toast casserole mixed with strawberries for breakfast. For lunch he ate some Whole 30 Chili with meat, sweet potatoes, peppers, tomatoes, tomato sauce, and lots of spices. He ate whole wheat dinner roll and a large serving of mango/pineapple mix.

Quick Note: During Story Time we finished a book and Miles said, "That's a cute book Gary." Haha. (I think I heard your Mommy speaking Miles.) 

This first picture is left over from yesterday afternoon and just for fun I introduced Miles to this big puzzle. It will be awhile before he'll tackle this one, or maybe not! Sometimes they'll surprise you! As a matter of fact he was pretty sure he did this all by himself. "I did it! I did it!!" Haha.

Caption for the next picture: "But we WERE playing Gentle!!" (Look at the innocent eyes. Ha. Not.) No you really weren't, so now you have to listen to Gary's little lecture. Haha. "we never hit; remember to play gentle boys!!" And that's about as many words as I string together for this age group. Otherwise their eyes start to glaze over. :)

Next picture: I took this shortly after Svea's arrival. She came with some "goldfish" and I told her she could bring them in, but she had to share with the boys. (If you look closely you can see one in front of Cal's left hand.) She wasn't dishing them out as fast as the boys wanted her to, but she had the bowl and she was in control. "If you want more goldfish, you're gonna have to wait." However, she really did share very generously. Last picture: Cal got a drawing slate and soon all three children were using them. Miles saw Svea tracing around her hand and he wanted to do it too. So I asked Svea if she'd help him and she eagerly did. When I took the picture she was trying to get him to spread his fingers apart. Meanwhile, Cal just kept on drawing and not interested in what those two were doing.

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...
