Alayna ate all of her blueberries and about half of her cinnamon raisin English muffins at breakfast.  At lunch she ate everything -- canned chicken on saltines, cherries and potato salad. 

Alayna sat and cuddled with her blanket on the couch for about 10 minutes this morning.  After that Morgan came over and asked, "I sit with you?"  Alayna grinned and said she could then shared her blanket with her.  Pretty soon all of the "big" kiddos were sitting on the couch with Alayna's blanket over their laps.  She was very proud to share with her friends, saying, "I share them!"  It was really sweet!

I just cracked up when Alayna started studying my face and asked, "Let me see your eyeball!"  I've had kiddos ask me about everything, but I have never had that request before!  : ) 

Kenzie and Alayna were looking at the family posters together today and Kenzie pointed to Laurie and asked, "That Gramma Laurie?"  Alayna answered her patiently, but proudly, "That MY Gramma Laurie!"  It was really cute!

Today Alayna was playing with our set of pretend pliers.  First of all she started by pinching her nose with them, then her lips and then her hair.  What looked super funny was when she started trying to get her eyebrows with them (that is a pretty big pair of tweezers!).  : ) 

Alayna accidentally stepped on Emily's hand on the balance beam -- climber deal and gave her a nice love afterward.  Emily asked her to "Kiss it" and Alayna did is so sweetly.  (No biting or other aggression today either, by the way!)  : )
