Miles - 06/02/2022

Miles ate blueberry bagel and three large servings of peaches for breakfast. For lunch he ate two servings of ground beef topped with avocado, ate two servings of buttered whole wheat pita bread, ate olives, and two servings of strawberries. Cal was providing the Lunch table entertainment: "I broke my arm and now it's all wobbly!" As he was flopping his arm around. :)

Morning ritual for Miles; he likes to know the menu for the day. Breakfast, Lunch, and Snack. It doesn't matter what I say; he just stands there quivering! Saying, "Yummy Yummy Yummy!!" And about 30 minutes later he wants to repeat the process. Haha.

First picture; Svea was doing this matching game/activity in the Preschool room and the boys joined her. One card has the instructions written on it. Cal looked at the instructions, but decided he couldn't read it. What should he do? Find someone that CAN read!! So Cal hands them to Miles and says, "Hey Miles, read these instructions." LOL. 

Next picture: Svea has her "bug box" and they're looking for bugs. Second picture: We're taking a walk to the irrigation/water ditch to look for more bugs. (You can see the "bug box" Svea is holding.) They wanted to hold hands, but Miles was holding Cal's left hand with his left hand. Not working, but he didn't want to let it go! :) Third picture: They got the hand holding thing figured out by themselves. :)

Next picture: They spotted a "water skipper" and Svea asked, "Can I catch it?" Well you can try, but without a net I doubt it will happen. They're pretty quick. Last picture: I spotted a couple of ducks in the grass on the opposite side of the ditch. There was a Drake and a Hen so probably a nest close by because they weren't about to leave! You can see the male in the shadow if you look close right below Cal's left leg (in the picture above) and you can see the white ring around the duck's neck. I think it's a Mallard.

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...
