Linnea - 12/20/2018

Linnea ate toasted whole wheat english muffin and half of oranges for breakfast.  For lunch she ate ground beef, whole wheat elbow noodles, peas, and applesauce.

Linnea was watching Lauralea get ready for work and she knew Lauralea was about to leave.  She was saying "bye...bye...bye...."  Then she was touching Lauralea's boot and saying, "boot...boot....boot."

I LOVE Linnea's morning rituals and routines!  I primarily love it because I know routines help children feel secure, but it's also very very cute!!  Now this week since Atley is gone Linnea is here by herself for sometimes 40 minutes.  I sit on the couch and she brings me toys.  This week it's been "milk" cups and I pretend to drink.  She also takes off her shoes and socks and brings them to me.  And this week every day she's started touching the top of her head and talking.  Oh, you want me to fix your hair?  Big "yes" head nod!

I took this first picture when Linnea was looking at herself in the mirror and if you look close you can see her practicing doing "fish lips!"  Ha!  Second picture she was watching Lauralea and then doing big grins at me.

This next picture is our neighbor's house and they have a Santa Claus that "repels" up and down this little rope.  The only way the kids can see it is from the top of the couch and I don't let them stand up there as it's not safe.  However, the Preschool room is two steps higher and they can see it.  This morning at breakfast Linnea spotted it from her highchair and got all excited!  Then in the last picture I came around the corner and Linnea was perched in the play sink.  Haha.  And she got down from there by herself too.

Linnea ate cheerios and banana for breakfast.  For lunch she ate bites of ground beef, ate whole wheat pita bread, olives, avocado, and strawberries. First picture: I love how Linnea likes to snuggle and say, "I love you Gary."  So precious!!  Especially first thing in the morning before too many other kids arrive and then it's busy time!!  This was a selfie when she was snuggling me and then she asked, "Can you send that to my Mom?"  :)  Following picture: I had a phone appointment with an insurance agent so Lauralea was reading to the kids for me.  Lauralea was pretending to cry when Peter Rabbit was stuck in the fence.  Even though Svea wasn't on the couch she was listening and she immediately said, "Don't cry Lauralea, don't cry.  Don't cry Lauralea, don't cry." This next picture of the water bottles; pretty fascinating right!?!  Haha.  Linnea asked for water and then something was bugging her, but I couldn't under...

Linnea ate oatmeal and apple pieces for breakfast.  For lunch she ate a large serving of hamburger stew with meat, carrots, tomatoes, and green beans.  She also ate whole wheat dinner roll and two servings of apricots. Yesterday afternoon probably 30 minutes after you guys picked up Linnea and left on your bicycle, it started to rain.  That really caused Atley to be concerned.  It was SO sweet!!  She said, "I hope Eric, Becca, and Linnea don't get wet.  And Anders."  :)  That was so thoughtful Atley. First picture:  Nothing too much to say about this picture; other than these three were just having fun giggling and enjoying each other.  Following picture: The kids love the mirrors!!  They set up their "horsey rides" so they could watch themselves in the mirror!  I tried for several minutes to get a picture with all 4 of these kids on their horse.  Ha!  About the time two or three would get on their horse then one ...

Linnea ate blueberry muffin and ate two servings of grapes for breakfast.  For lunch she ate two servings of shrimp, ate brown rice, a large serving of stir fry vegetables, and ate raspberries.  At breakfast Svea told Linnea; "Here's your high chair Linnea."  Linnea was SO excited!  She acted like the chair had been missing!!  "Svea found my high chair Gary!!  Svea found my high chair!!"  :)  Also at breakfast time Avilene said, "My Mom has a wallet and it has a LOT of money in it!!"  Linnea said, "My Mom has a wallet and it has dinosaurs in it."  LOL First picture; Linnea got down and said "hi" to Miles and I happened to have the camera ready.  She doesn't really like to cooperate if I try to recreate a scene so I have to catch her in the moment!!  Ha. Following picture: Playing with one of the masks.  It's kind of freaky looking when you can't see their eyes!!  Walking blindly about!! Three pictures of the ...
