Linnea - 1/4/2019

Linnea ate cream of wheat cereal and half of dried plums for breakfast.  For lunch she ate most of baked beef kabobs with meat, peppers, and zucchini.  She ate most of brown rice and ate a large serving of pineapple.

Linnea had only been here a couple of minutes when she started pointing to her hair and saying a few words.  I did understand "pony."  You want me to fix your ponytail?  Big affirmative head nod!  I love that!  I think she said something like; "Come on, get with the program!  This is our morning ritual!" So I took the first picture after fixing her hair and she was sitting on the mattress playing with some jingle bells.  :)  What a cutie!

Second picture: Linnea also played with the dress-up clothes and she worked hard several times to get them on.  If they ask for help, I'll help them, but I really like for them to work at it themselves.  And boy are they proud when they're successful!!  And you can see in the picture she is having success getting her arm through an arm hole!  I love that.  About this same time Linnea heard the gate at the stairs open and she immediately starting saying, "Lor-la, Lor-la, Lor-la."  Lauralea loves it!

I love these last two pictures!  Svea and Linnea rolling around on the mattress, laughing, being silly, and enjoying each other!  They are pretty good buddies already!  When Svea arrived this morning Linnea went to the gate and was saying, "Baby Baby Baby."  She was happy to see the baby!!

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 some bran cereal and a few raisins for breakfast.  For lunch she ate chicken, whole wheat pita bread, two servings of cucumber, two servings of avocado, and two servings of pears. This first picture is taken right after waving bye to Momma Megan.  Atley is a big girl, but from this angle, plus the fact she's on the top of the bench back railing, it makes her look huge and Linnea tiny. Funny picture.  They were looking at a worm taking refuge from the wet grass laying on the sidewalk again.  They got excited when it moved.  "It's moving Gary!  It's moving!!" Next picture; All five girls were playing on the balance beam and it was their "airplane."  Nora was actually the one that got this started while playing with Svea and Linnea.  Avi and Atley soon joined them and when I took the picture Atley said, "Ok everybody get on the airplane.  Put your seatbelts on."  :)  The picture makes it obvious that Avi and Atley kind...

Linnea ate waffle and fruit salad for breakfast.  For lunch she ate most of shepherd's pie with meat, carrots, potatoes, and green beans.  She also ate whole wheat tortillas and her cherries. Just in case anyone is interested:  Child Care Resources is celebrating 50 years in the Missoula community with free rides and free Ice Cream at the Carousel on March 12th, 5:30 - 7:00.  Bring friends and family.  All ages of kids are welcome. Linnea is such a little snuggle bug in the mornings when she arrives and I love it!  So cute.  She was saying lots of words with her soft voice; "Atley?"  Yes, Atley's coming.  "Nor Nor?"  Yes, she's coming.  "Avi?"  Yes, she's coming.  "Svea?"  Yes she's coming too!  Then she saw the picture on my shirt.  "Mickey?"  Yes, that's Mickey Mouse.  Then she leaned over to examine my ears!  Ok, I'll go get my hearing aids and put them in!  :) First picture: ...
