Alayna ate all of her whole wheat toast with jelly and thirds on dried mangoes at breakfast.  At lunch she ate most of her sweet potatoes and all of her tropical fruit and her beef and bean burrito. 

Alayna told me "I wanna nuggle" at least 5 times this morning before breakfast.  She acted like she felt time and wasn't fussy or anything like that, so I am assuming it was just because she missed us and/or was missing the mommy and daddy cuddles from being sick. 

Morgan was using one of the toobaloo phones today and I asked her who she was talking to.  She looked around the room, saw that Alayna was also using one and said, "Layna", like I should be able to figure that out.  What made it even funnier was that Alayna heard her say it and shook her head emphatically, saying "No, I talk Grampa!"  

Kenzie wanted Alayna to play with her today.  She went over to her, reached for her hand and asked "You wanna walk, Layna?"  Alayna took her hand and they strolled around the room for a while.  After a while Alayna let go and started to go do something else.  Kenzie was immediately there and this time asked, "Wanna hold Kenzie hand?"  What actually started them playing together was that Kenzie bonked her knee a little and was kind of fussing.  Alayna went over to her and asked, "You want me to hug you, Kenzie?"  It was absolutely precious. 

Alayna, Thomas and Peyton were all very glad to see each other.  They played around each other frequently, especially around the climber and mattress area.  One of the times, as this picture shows, Thomas managed to get him "stuck" in the little area behind the steps (AGAIN!) and Alayna was working hard to help him out.
