Alayna ate all of her biscuit and peaches at breakfast. At lunch she ate all of her pineapple, steamed broccoli, pineapple tidbits, and most of her dinner roll.
This morning Alayna was standing in front of me talking with me and Thomas came over and was wanting to get to me. He literally grabbed her shoulder and kind of threw her down to the floor. Poor Alayna! Babies are NOT supposed to be that strong. I gave her loves, of course, didn't reward Thomas by picking him up and reiterated the rule of being gentle. I do have to say that it looked pretty funny though! Here is this 'just-turned-one' baby body slamming (exaggerating) a two-year-old. : ( Ugh!
I decided to try seeing if any of the "big" kiddos are interested in
using the bathroom this morning. I was just going to take the older
four (who are all two, or almost). Kenzie was determined that she
needed to come too, so I took her also. They all tried valiantly, and both Jadey and Alayna went poop the first time. Way to go, Alayna! I think that is the first (or maybe second) time she has pooped here. Alayna also went pee the second time (but her diaper was already wet). I will keep trying
all of them for a couple weeks (as long as they want to), then will
focus on those who are being successful after that.
I
had given an award to the two who pooped in the potty this morning and
let them put a sticker on it. Of course, all of the other kiddos wanted
a "ticker" too, so I decided we would do stickers for art time today.
That sufficed them.
Alayna was being so loving to the kiddos again today. I think everyone got at least one random hug from her and a couple got more than one. She also gave a couple of them loves when they were sad or upset about something. That is so awesome.
