Cal - 02/04/2022

Cal ate kix cereal and no raisins for breakfast. For lunch he ate tilapia, bites of whole wheat elbow noodles, ate green beans, and applesauce. This is primarily about Svea, but Cal knows all the table rules and they even tell me NOT to sing in the kitchen during meal times. We have a "no singing" policy during meal times. At breakfast Svea randomly said, "Hey Gary! What if you said no talking at the table? Then how would we eat our food?" Well that's a funny statement, but I've no idea what it means. :)

Just an FYI for y'all - Cal and Svea were the only ones here this morning. Miles came shortly before noon. I wanted to show you in the first two pictures how Cal was using the 'bunny ears' and how Svea was using the 'bunny ears.' :) Third picture; Svea was doing her food preparation thing again and getting everything organized. She's a bit - sometimes a lot - territorial about the food toys after she arranges them. I guess Cal wanted something he could call his own because you can see he has the wallets and purses in the third picture. He was apparently laying a legal claim to them because he said, "Svea! Can you not mess with my stuff!?!" I didn't think she was very close to his stuff, but he was marking his territory. :)

Last two pictures: Svea and Cal were having a blast jumping, falling, giggling, and laughing. We did Story Time and then Svea asked Cal; "Do you want to do that funny thing again!?!" Ha. Last picture: They had Svea's necklace and were basically doing a tug-of-war with it. I cautioned them that the necklace might break, but no one cared. Ha. Svea said, "Whoever gets the necklace first gets a trophy!" Some times they take advantage of all the toys and activities here; then other times like this morning I wonder why even have an endless supply of activities and toys when they can spend all morning playing with a necklace on the mattress!?! :)
