Alayna ate all of her whole wheat bagel and dried apricots at breakfast.  At lunch she ate all of her baked fish and her applesauce, but only a couple bites of the pea and pasta salad. 

Alayna just missed waving at you guys this morning.  She had been looking out the window then turned and left to ask me, "Where momma?" right as you were driving by!.  The timing couldn't have been worse, seriously! 

Here is Alayna doing what she spends time doing every day.  This picture is actually from yesterday, but I forgot to post it.  Notice 1) the curlers in her cute hair, 2) the doll in her arm, and 3) the book she is intently "reading".  She "reads" to the dolls frequently.  This day she just happened to allow Joslyn to join them.  : ) 

We got out the "laundry baskets" today for the kiddos to play with.  Alayna was the one that experimented with them the most.  The rest of the kiddos figured out one or two things to do with them, and that was good enough.  Alayna just kept trying to figure out something else to do with them.  She sat in it, put it on her head (both upside down and right side up), figured out how to hook it on the dress-up hook, loaded it down with dress up clothes, loaded it down with food stuff, used it for a doll cradle, tried to roll it along the floor, pushed it around, and finally put a blanked over the top and then kept putting things on the blanket until it collapsed inside!  Very creative stuff!
