Alayna ate about half of her bran flakes and craisins at breakfast. At lunch she ate all of her cheese pizza, most of her steamed cauliflower and about half of her tropical fruit.
It was not only "new" toy exchange, but also one of her favorites, so
she was very engaged all morning. : ) She was especially playing with the pop-up
toasters. She was doing it repeatedly and when it popped up she almost always said, "Whoa!" and chuckled like it surprised her.
I
also set up our little fish tube deal today and she and the rest of the
kiddos were super excited about that. For about 5 minutes they were
all over there watching them move and "swim" and jumping up and down
saying, "They wake up! They wake up!" : ) She also stated, "the other one's pink -- the little one" and it is!
I had
forgotten to get out this set of stuffed animals this time so when I
did, I reminded them all that if they started fighting over them instead
of sharing or taking turns the bunnies would have to go in "Time out"!
She nodded solemnly and pointed up to the shelf where I had put a
couple of problem causing stuffed animals last week.
I
was sitting on the floor with them today and one of the kiddos came
over and asked to sing a certain song which lead to another and another
until we had spent about 20 minutes singing. The kiddos were doing a
lot of actual singing this time (as well as the motions). It was fun.
Many times those spontaneous interactions are more meaningful and
"successful" than the planned ones!
